I started a thread in a different forum that I thought I'd post here for your musings.

What's your "Holy Grail" firearm? That is, the one for which you'd keep striving to acquire in your lifetime but, for whatever reasons (cost, availability, etc.), it always seems to elude you, throughout your life, It should be a conventional existing (not imaginary - no "light sabers" ) firearm that could be acquired generally (i.e. not "restricted" to the Military, etc),



I have one in several different categories (categories like "long range sniper rifle", "NFA," large caliber, etc.). But at EOD, I'd have to say, at present, the one that stands out of those is my NFA choice: The Thompson "Chicago Typewriter" with drum mags.

NDM-86

Someday ill be able to swing one...

American 180

I kneel at the altar of my Smith and Wesson Model 41 .22 cal target pistol. It surprises me every time it goes off and never fails to give me a poop eating grin.
At an indoor range my target is always the smallest and the farthest away. The range goes quiet when I retrieve my target. At first it looks like I missed the paper completely … then you see daylight where the black of the bullseye should be!

I've got a Thompson M1A1, it does not take the drum, which I'm Happy with, it only takes the stick magazines in 20 and 30 rounds, you can burn up dollars in .45 ammo, even in semi automatic, I recommend if you acquire one you instantly get into reloading or you'll need a night job to keep it going ... They are around for sale but you'll pay big $$$ for one ..fun weapon to own ..

Peace and tranquility

Right now I would have to say a Q The Fix in 8.6 Creedmoor, with whatever 338 can they are coming out with for it, and a thermal for smacking some hogs.

I am not a Q whore but this is the only thing I can think of that I would really love to have that is out of reach for me.

An original 1858 Remington New Army in firing condition. I know these are still obtainable, just usually out of my price range.

Beretta M93R

Brown Bess with Revolutionary War provenance.

Fulton Armory M65. Not a unicorn by any means just seems to elude me every time I have the finances.
