What's the holy grail of firearms?

[sojournerhome]

The Holy Grail of guns will be the last one fired before the Lord returns.

 

[j-easy]

probably like a set of WWII stuff, Patton's revolver. all the full auto stuff, browning .50's, mg 44's and 42's. BAR, thompsons etc. preferably ones with a pedigree, made by colt and fought on d day etc.

 

[KiltedClaymore]

the pistol jesus likes the most, of course!

 

[Golden Hound]

The ultra-rare Lorcin L200 .308-caliber battle rifle.

 

[KiltedClaymore]

even better, the gun that got tupac.

 

[freakshow10mm]

Holland & Holland double rifle in .375 H&H Magnum.

 

[Dstoerm]

My quest for The Holy Grail would lead me to an original vintage Peacemaker, followed by an original, unaltered, vintage Revolutionary War musket, used by THE GOOD GUYS.

 

[lazyeye]

I'm not much into collecting, but I am into shooting.

I would like a Delisle carbine.

As far as ancestor worship though, I'd like the Thompson my Grandfather carried in the pacific.

 

[XDKingslayer]

BUT, the true automotive Holy Grail?-Bugatti Royale. Arguably THE most exotic and rare (7 made, 6 exist, all different body styles)---Last sale of one I know about was, IIRC $30 million.

There are rarer cars. If I recall there were only three 1967 GTOs made in convertible with Alutian Blue paint.

 

[Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow]

Holland & Holland double rifle in .375 H&H Magnum.

Bingo. Except in .700 Nitro Express. Or maybe a Colt Patterson revolver.

Some people I know assured me that Jesus packed Gaston's "perfection" *cough*, whilst he drank his kool-aid from the Grail.

At risk of blaspheming and going someplace I don't want to go, I believe the lord carried a custom flinklock pistol. After all, if he could feed a whole crowd off a few loaves and fishes, he could cap a whole gang with a single round-ball.

The Holy Grail of firearms.
Sgt. York's .45 ACP it's still listed as MIA and priceless.
1903 Springfield #25468
Good luck.

 

[Wang]

The Holy Grail for me would be John Waynes colt.The one he always wore in most of his westerns.

 

[tinygnat219]

I want the gun Hitler used to commit suicide.

I want the gun Alvin York used, either a 1903 Springfield, or a P-14 Enfield.

 

[alistaire]

.45 acp Mauser C96, original Armalite AR-10 & AR-15 1/14 twist with 2000 rounds of original .30 M1 homologue .223 ammo. (The nasty stuff from the ARPA tests in Viet Nam). And a SPIW with ammo.

 

[PCFlorida]

BAR

The BAR my father carried in the South Pacific in WWII. That would be special.

 

[smirnoff a]

This:

Total Recall special.

 

[imatt]

P90.

Non-civilian version with short barrel and full auto. Suppressor would be good too.

 

[Aren't we all]

Fedorov Avtomat

or the contents of the Stalingrad millitary museum and a crapload of ammo.

 

[pbearperry]

As for a shooter, it would be a Browning Hi Power.As far as a collector piece,I second John Waynes SA.

 

[La Pistoletta]

Wouldn't mind a WA2000.

 

[streakr]

1921 Colt made Thompson

streakr

 

[Drgong]

The Holy Grail of Firearms...

Why the Raven of course

(actually I heard a few say if you don't expect much of them they are decent plinkers.)

 

[kentucky bucky]

I think it would be owning one of the two(?) Lugers in .45 ACP that were made in Germany by Mauser? for a US Army test before WWI. I saw a show about them and at that time the estimated worth was over a million.

To me it would be owning an ornate 1770's era flintlock longrifle made, signed and dated by one of the famous master gunbuilders.

 

[scrat]

Walker Colt

yep
