I think I will not publicly list my firearms. Call me paranoid, but it just occurred to me that so far there is no such listing publicly disclosed, and I think I'll just keep it that way.

 

BTW its not the guns its the calibers and Yes You are paranoid :-) I could have 45 guns in 5.56  MOLON LABE....

Wow!  45?  I don't have any guns at all.  I have all these cartridges.  Now I just need a rifle that would accept the cartridges.

[Pygmy]

I have some interesting cartridges that I only WISH I had the guns they would chamber in....22WRF, 25-20 Win, 25-36 Marlin, .303 Savage, 32-20 WCF, .32 Win special .38-40 WCF .38-55 Win, .45-60 Win, 50-70, 20 MM Mk-5 anti-aircraft....

That 20mm could be loads of fun.

[Pygmy]

Yup....I can remember when you could buy a Finnish Lahti 20MM anti-tank gun MAIL order...Seems like it cost less than $100 also.

If I remember correctly ammo was about a buck a round..Pretty steep in 1965, but not bad right now. Folks are paying $2 a pop or more for .50 BMG...

I honestly I have the ability to hunt anything I want given the right load with what I already have buuuut... new guns r just awesome

That would probably meet "non-toxic" shot regs for waterfowl wouldn't it?

 

No lead right?

When it comes to buying firearms, the word "need" has nothing to do with it!!  LOL!!

Oh I'm sure they know everything you have/had.

  I don't believe they know of things before the "Gun control act of 1968" . Years ago there were no questions asked, walk in buy a gun & walk out.  No paper work & no phone calls made, nothing.  I  think there's lots of Grandpa's & Great grandpa's hand me down guns they don't know about.

Non toxic, but it would violate the no SINGLE PROJECTILE reg for waterfowl..

It really sucks...I'd love to vaporize a goose with my 20 MM....

I past "need" a long time ago.

Still like to fill in a few holes here and there.

22 Hornet single shot; 458 Win Mag boltgun ;450/400 #1 Ruger; 223Rem, 243Win,375HH for my switch barrel travel gun;

Anything interesting that pops up.

[Pygmy]

Looking for a Hornet, Dinsdale ?

Wish I had known that...It wasn't a single shot, but a Win M70 circa early 1950s..

Went for $750... It had a couple of extra d/t holes in it, but was really a nice specimen otherwise..

[Mikey M]

12 gauge pump (smoothbore)

.22 LR

Looking to add a lefty bolt action rifle in .308 or .270 hint hint to anyone trying to get ridda one haha

Damn..........a nice 308 NULA just went on another site for a cool $2200 today.

 

Since that has vanished why not look at those LH Ruger American rifles?  I also saw on another site that Bud's had a good price on LH Hawkeyes listed on Gunbroker.  Scheck 'em out............

Definitely gonna scheck out those Hawkeyes!!! I held the ruger American in a gander mt a few months ago and i didn't love the feel. I was thinking of customizing an Axis platform with a diff stock and optics... Waiting on my tax return though

[dbHunterNY]

I don't reload ammo... yet.  so nothing fancy caliber wise.  various guns in the following calibers.

 

.22LR

.223 Rem

.30-30 Win

.30-06

.300 Win Mag

9x19mm Para

.50 (muzzleloader... so don't come kick down my door)

 

...oh yea.  I NEED everything else.

I want a .375 Ruger and a 338 Win Mag but can't think of when I'd actually use it lol

[Mr VJP]

Heck, then just go all the way and get a .458 Lott!

I was helping a young man shop for his 1st rifle a few months back.I wasn't impressed W/the Rugar American at all. the Axis II is a much better bargain.IMO

 

The Axis appears to share many components W/the regular Savage bolt actions. Much easier to upgrade/modify.

Lol I'd go broke trying to feed it lol.

[Mr VJP]

Not really.  Nobody can shoot one more than twice in any given day!  LOL!

I had a BRNO 602 that was a 458 Win Mag reamed to a Lott (you can shoot Win Mag loads in a Lott, but not vice versa)

With plinking loads you can play with one all day and the recoil is on par 45-70loads you are used to.
