Which classics would you like to have but haven't yet owned?
Thinking about this subject kind of suprises me at the number of cool old guns I've owned. Many of them I'd like
To have back, but can't really justify them at the moment. Colt 1903's, 1851's an original 1911(no-a1), 1899 smith first models, -895 Winchester, Trapdoor Springfield, Krag, Broomhandle Mausers, old SMLE's and Mausers.
One I'd like to own that I have yet to get to is a Luger, just for the coolness factor. I would like to have an original 1903 Springield; I have had a couple of sporterized ones. On that note, a Garand is something I've never ponied up for and would like to own. I've had a few M-14's, so similar bit not the same...
I would love to have some kind of double rifle some day. Even to the point of me searching for a neat old 20 ga and having a pair of .45 caliber barrel blanks here... An original would be super cool, but something that fits in Indiana's goofy deer calibers would be even better.
I'd love to have an original 1873 Winchester but a good repro will suffice (and currently is!)
