H&K G3.

 

[Johnny Guest]

Colt Thompson Submachine Gun, model 1921 with Type C, L, and XX magazines.

 

[Dr.Rob]

BAR

First practical man portable machinegun firing full sized rifle cartridges. Used in two world wars, and several police actions world wide on our side and the enemy's. Also used with notorious effect by Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. According to tales ofthe gun one of the most innovative designs of the 20th century.

I have to agree, and its a hoot to shoot, and was designed by JMB himself.

 

[MicroBalrog]

Fedorov Automatic - the first true assault rifle (1916!)

 

[LiquidTension]

Gotta have some FAL variant in there.

 

[Gus Dddysgrl]

OK, Which one.......?

 

[kudu]

30-40 Krag-Jorgenson rifle. First smokeless powder military rifle.

 

[SodaPop]

Gotta have some FAL variant in there

........as the gun the United States military should have adopted in the 1960s.


My pick is the AC556.

 

[Andrew Wyatt]

remington rolling block saddle ring carbine.

 

[Stickjockey]

Gatling (the original hand-cranked one). Or a Borchardt pistol (precursor to the Luger).

 

[CarbineKid]

A Brown Bess

 

[cool45auto]

Springfield 1903

 

[Preacherman]

A matched pair of Joseph Manton duelling pistols, cased, with accessories. Of course, the cost of this pair would probably pay for every one of the guns mentioned by other posters, with a substantial chunk of change left over... but then, collecting's expensive!

 

[hoppinglark]

already said Guide Lamp's Liberator....

Since that is taken then I'd say Flintlock replica of the muskets used in the American Revolution

 

[Moparmike]

Sharps rifle. Barring that, a Luger.

 

[Lotzinger]

HK P7M13

excellent gun, everyone should have one ...

 

[556A2]

Browning\FN P-35

 

[4570Rick]

Spencer Rifle

 

[Brian Dale]

Annie Oakley's Marlin 1897 .22 lever-action rifle. All right - OR a replica, if the original(s) can't be had.

 

[Calanctus]

I'd add a Winchester 1885 hi-wall single shot. JMB's first design, which got him noticed by Winchester. Everything else he did may not have happened if this first design didn't get him noticed.
