What's on your short list (Santa wants to know)

For this year? Not much, maybe a RDS for my Glock.

Future guns? I've been toying with building a .308 AR while saving for something by Wilson or STI, not sure exactly which model (years out still so there'll be new options by the time I'm ready anyhow).

A few extra magazines, powder, primers, brass, 300 Blackout upper, Ruger 6702 SR1911, Third Gen S&W. Oh, and for my wife to get the job she wants after graduation. The list of wants is longer than that, but I'll stop there.

Found one old milsurp and put it on lay-away. It'll be my birthday present.
Now to find a couple more for Christmas.
And a truck.

Barrett 82A1 because I can.

Springfield Hellcat
A Buck Sprint in micarta
Olight s1r ii copper
Oakley flak 2 with the new prism polarized

Cz 527 Varmint in 204 Ruger.

After sixty plus years of collecting/accumulating, my list is defined by what do I really want to keep/hand down. Way too many to shoot regularly. Blessed beyond belief. Kids are gonna crap at the inheritances. Gotta think it out so the premier stuff goes to them.

1.) a CZ75 SA with a Cajun Gunworks trigger job

Got one. Good choice.

I’d love a used Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon for skeet shooting.

I already have my S&W .22 Victory,and today I ordrer and paid for a 1895 Marlin .444 lever action rifle. Looking to pick it up from my LGS in 7 to 10 days.

I don't have a short list...

In no particular order:

1. Colt SSA clone in .357 mag with the 7.5" inch cavalry length barrel.
2. Rossi 92 lever action with the 20" barrel in .357
3. Ruger PCC with the M-lok forend
4. A Glock 19
5. A stainless, full size 1911 70s series in .45acp
6. A Glock 20 sf
7. An AR-10 (probably build out a PSA AR-10 lower)
8. An AR-15 pistol with 9 or 10" barrel. And a 300 B/O upper with it
9. A Savage Mk II FVSR
10. Thompson Center Compass in 6.5 Creedmore
11. Thompson Center Compass in .223

I'd love a ton more reloading components

And probably most importantly: a 22 suppressor, 308 suppressor, and 45 suppressor

As far as guns are concerned I pretty much have what I want with a couple of exceptions. I would like to get a Ruger mini-14 to be honest. I don’t know why except it would be fun to bang away at steel plates with one.

I have gotten all the guns I had on my short list,now if I see something I like it may come home with me or not come home with me.

It looks like Santa's going to give me an Ishapore 2A1 for Christmas - and maybe an old truck... .

I recently decided to knock a few off my shortlist, to make it even shorter.

1. Kriss Vector
2. PS90
3. S&W .460XVR
4. CZ Shadow 2 (B&B)
5. JM Stamped Marlin Lever .45LC or .357M

4 down, 1 to go.

Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore has both of those on sale for $250

1. Take delivery on the custom flintlock pistol I ordered in August 2018.
2. P365XL.
3. Maybe a .22 rifle.

Uncle Sam just dangled a FAT carrot in front of me for contracting work, if it happens, I will be getting:
A 6" Python
A Dan Wesson DWX,
A Glock 40 (10mm long-slide,)
I will have my grandfather's Model 97 16 ga restored
An Armscor VR-80 shotgun
I will send my Inland M-1 Carbine to Fulton Armory for an overhaul
80% lowers and Glock frames with full parts kits for all my boys

Parts to finish projects.

Another AR lower (80% preferred, I enjoy the project)

Arisaka T38 parts

Remington 700 .270 win barrel

Mauser 1914 firing pin, grip

Lead shot, 16ga virgin hulls, 209 primers

A place to use all that stuff and more

Time to go to the place that was just mentioned

Tools to make the stuff I want/need to finish projects.

And if the bills go to the North Pole... a mountain howitzer or Napoleon cannon with artillery mount and limber.

An Uberti Schofield revolver.

M&P 340

YHM Resonator 7.62

You can make a mountain howitzer or parrot rifle with a 5 in gas pipe and a good welder. Make the limber trouble might be finding period wheels. They can usually be bought from the onion, but don't tell them it's for an artillery piece.

Ruger pc9mm
kimber Montana 280am
kibler rifle still can't pick one tho
Mauser m18 or Sauer
some smaller things for projects.

To Read some of the books received during the last ten Christmas’.

Guns: seeking a first very Modern German handgun, an HK or Walther.
Did you know that Walther’s US distribution is owned by S&W?

Maybe there’s a corporate reason (S&W) why modern Walthers are seen as very underrated......
