This thread makes me feel so out of touch with the thoughts of today. All of these AR, AK, Socom, FAL guns bore me to freaking death. I would waist one of the 20 guns on a combat rifle.And that would be an AK that I have owned for more than a decade. But it is kind of boring too, but for some reason I feel like I need it. The rest of the 19 would be waisted on revolvers and lever action rifles.

The word you are looking for is "wasted".

 

[Warp]

And as of today I can cross one [more] off the list!

It isn't in my hands yet, but my very first AR-15 has been paid for and carried out of the store in somebody's hands. (birthday around the corner) It isn't a Colt, but I didn't pay for it and there's nothing wrong with Palmetto State Armory.

Taking a copy/paste of my list from before, the Green I already have (or on the way, in the case of the AR15)

Also, if I were to cut the list down to 15, all of the guns I currently own would make the cut.

I have found as I get older I could get by with less and less. I posted my list before. I don't know if it's a case of been there and done that or if I've just figured out what I really like or that many firearms just are so similar that I don't need near duplicates. Wonder how others who've shot for a long time feel.

 

[Radagast]

Pretty much in agreement Sheepdog. I've shot well over 100 different models, the more guns I've shot, the fewer I feel a need to own.

If I was putting together a 'nice to own' list I guess I would break it down something like the following.

Handguns

Rimfire:
S&W Model 41 pistol
Ruger Single Six convertible.

Centerfire:
S&W Model 27 five inch barrel.
Glock 17
Glock 34 with Trijicon RMR
CZ SP01 Shadow
Colt SAA in .357 Magnum

Rifles:
CZ527 in .223
CZ452 in .22lr
Remington 7615P in .223
Swedish Mauser in 6.5x55

Shotgun:
IAC Model 87
Double barreled .410

Only 13, but it would completely meet my requirements for hunting and target shooting, while meeting the restrictions in Australia on semi automatic long arms.

[Needles]

20 guns? Sheesh, y'all need some other hobbies! I only have about half that, counting the muzzleloaders and airguns. And I'm from Tennessee! MOST of my guns were gifts! I think I've got all the bases covered, I think:

.30-06 Savage 110
.30-30/ 20 gauge H&R Handi Rifle
Norinco JW-15 bolt action .22
Chinese SKS "Paratrooper carbine"
1897 7mm Mauser

Ruger GP100
S&W 422
Ruger MKII
T/C Contender

Traditions .50 Cal Hawken
Traditions .50 Cal Buckstalker
Pietta .44 Remington 1858 (one 8", one 5")
Pietta .44 "Navy Sheriff" 5" "

It's a hassle for me to keep these cleaned and shootable! Y'all need to get out and ride a horse. Or a motorcycle. Or a bicycle. Or watch a movie. Read. Gees! Do something else! Y'all are wasting your lives. Oh. well. I'm gonna go shoot.

Radagast: If I lived somewhere that banned semi automatic long guns while also making it illegal to carry a handgun (or even a pocket knife) I certainly wouldn't have a use for very many guns, either.

FYI: The premise of the thread assumes that you will have to pay for said firearms yourself, same as always. Just in case there is any confusion.

 

[berettaprofessor]

Really? 20 guns for a lifetime? I've seen the threads of "what two guns" and "what four guns" for a lifetime, but 20? Why not 100 for a lifetime? Why not 500?

I'm not playing till someone starts a thread titled "If you could only have 1000 guns lifetime, what would they be?"

If you could only have 20 guns, lifetime,

Lets be realistic and say you could only have 60, 120, or 240?

Lets say you have a really good job, and an understanding wife who collects shoes.
So you can afford 480 or 960?


What would they be?? :banghead:

Out of curiosity, why the duplicates on the pistols? I was tempted to do the same but the rules of the game listed 20 as lifetime max. Also, why both a bolt and semiauto 22 LR? I can understand the need for a 22 but two of them seems like duplication when the lifetime cap is kinda low. Also, I still dont see a proper hunting rifle. Again, this is,all meant in friendly conversation. I could be quite happy with you list. Well, I might sob if I didn't own a lever action.
