A factory five shot Bisley 454...and now I have zero interest in one. These days I'm quite content with three fifty sevens and forty fours:)

That would be a sweet gun! NT (reply)

Michelle inherited a 6 inch 586 (reply)

when her Dad passed a few years ago. Love that gun. Local pusher has an 8 3/8" 586 that is singing a siren song to me.

My long lost brother! (reply)

Momma told me to stay away from people like you...whatever.

I love your list. Volcanics...ooo. Very cool.

350 Rigby...oh yea. 275 Rigby...even better!

Oh wow.... Many/most in the posts above. (reply)

One each, if you please.

I would be quite happy with an M-S as you describe. 6.5x54, of course.

ANY of the the big, or even most minor, English names; Holland, Rigby, et al. Particularly if it were chambered in .350 Rigby Magnum! Double rifles get extra attention, no matter which calibre.

Classic square bridge Mausers with preferences towards classic calibers like .275 Rigby (7x57), etc.

A small frame Sako...sorry, their model numbers haven't been locked in yet. In some appropriate caliber, e.g., .222, 5.6x52R (if even possible?).

ANY Triple-Lock.

A bit off course, a Volcanic pistol. Any caliber.

Schultz & Larsen, 7x61 S&H, of course.

Hi-Powers, Lugers, a Lahti (just because I have a reputation to maintain), nearly any Colt SAA, and, oh my, the list goes on and on.

I hear you loud and clear... (reply)

I just got my first 03A3 and Trapdoor and I think they are so interesting. I keep pulling them out and fiddling with them...so I'm leaving them out while I reload just to look at. Honestly, they are as cool as anything I've had including vintage Class 3. I don't have a full size Garand (yet) but I do like my real Tanker model. It's fun and interesting. Would love to have more Martinis also (steel not liquid).

Original Lugers are very cool. I just have a Jones for an Artillery model. Might as well swing for the back fence.

The Krag and Mannlicher-Schoenauer 1903 have eluded me so far but not forever.

I've owned a lot of vintage pistols and revolvers but not a 1903 or Broomhandle yet. To be completely candid, I would love a Howdah and Tranter or Bland revolver. I have a friend with several of both!

Which classics would you like to have but haven't yet owned? (reply)

Thinking about this subject kind of suprises me at the number of cool old guns I've owned. Many of them I'd like
To have back, but can't really justify them at the moment. Colt 1903's, 1851's an original 1911(no-a1), 1899 smith first models, -895 Winchester, Trapdoor Springfield, Krag, Broomhandle Mausers, old SMLE's and Mausers.

One I'd like to own that I have yet to get to is a Luger, just for the coolness factor. I would like to have an original 1903 Springield; I have had a couple of sporterized ones. On that note, a Garand is something I've never ponied up for and would like to own. I've had a few M-14's, so similar bit not the same...

I would love to have some kind of double rifle some day. Even to the point of me searching for a neat old 20 ga and having a pair of .45 caliber barrel blanks here... An original would be super cool, but something that fits in Indiana's goofy deer calibers would be even better.

I'd love to have an original 1873 Winchester but a good repro will suffice (and currently is!)

isn't that a FA97? (reply)

A bit on the expensive side but they are relatively compact.

Which is most decidedly NOT a classic but hey. NT (reply)

Bryan Pettet — Sun, 08 May 2016 02:58:16 +0000

Nice list. HP is on my list too. NT (reply)

Bryan Pettet — Sun, 08 May 2016 02:50:24 +0000

A five shot 44 or 45 Colt SA for IWB would be nice too (reply)

Browning Hi Power (reply)

woody — Sun, 08 May 2016 00:59:27 +0000

Fox 16 ga.
Ithaca NID 16 ga.
L. C. Smith 16 ga.

All in higher grades.

I hear you...would love a 10mm levergun. NT (reply)

Bryan Pettet — Sun, 08 May 2016 00:57:43 +0000

How about wish they would build? A cartridge LeMat and a sem (reply)

stonewalrus — Sun, 08 May 2016 00:33:23 +0000

Auto 357 carbine.

Sounds like a plan. (reply)

Paul — Sat, 07 May 2016 15:24:50 +0000

The only multiples I've got are in 22LR. Everything else is one caliber/one gun. That does tend to simplify things quite a bit.

I just want a 4" 29 and a 6" 586... (reply)

rob — Sat, 07 May 2016 15:03:35 +0000

Pre-lock of course!

I'm curious as well. Got my new plug gauges to check. (reply)

Bryan Pettet — Sat, 07 May 2016 14:25:26 +0000

It's my first 38-55 (and I don't plan for others right now) so it's not as critical as for most people. JT might hit me with a ruler for saying I don't need other 38-55s but I have other cartridges I want to work with more. I will just size whatever is needed for this one and call it good.

I look forward to your range report(s). (reply)

Paul — Sat, 07 May 2016 12:53:03 +0000

The Sharps are dandy rifles in their way. But they just don't "do it" for me. Oh, I'd like to have one (along with one of about every other firearm I've ever seen) but it's not at the top of the (current) list. :) I'm VERY curious as to whether it'll be a modern bore or if they stuck with the "authentic" oversized bore.

I like the way you think. NT (reply)
