What are your Grail Guns?

[Martinjmpr]

Mine is kind of obscure. I saw a few at some of the gun shows I went to back in the early 80's.

Lahti L-35 or Husqvarna M-40 9mm pistol. A gorgeous gun (and HEAVY! I got to handle a few and they feel like a solid chunk of steel!)

Gorgeous lines, very reminiscent of the Parabellum/Luger but different enough to be noticeable.





Every now and then I'll do a GB search. When you can find them they seem to run in the $1300 - $2000 range. Back in the 80's they went for around $500 - $600.

Kinda makes me wish I never traded my MCX all of a sudden.

It's hard to come up with specific guns that I would put on the level of "grail"... I have a small list of specific models that I have wanted all along, and I own them.

Everything else comes down to practical needs as far as firearms go.

There are a few calibers that still exist on the "I want one because" list.

.375 Cheytac
.408 Cheytac (Yes, I know the .375 is the same but better ballistically. Doesn't change the fact that I want one...)

Recently crossed the 6.5 Creedmoor off the list of wanted calibers.

ETA: I guess the only specific model I still want enough to have a "grail list" would be a Barrett M107A1.

A Smith and Wesson Model 1926 .44 Special in blue, 4” barrel.

WWII correct M1 Garand

Those two would make me very happy.

Back in the day when it was new, cost was little over $100 dollars. A nice 20ga bolt action, smooth bore shotgun with 2 spare mags. I think it was a New Haven, folks bought it for me to hunt with at a local gas station. And for the next 30 years shot the crap out of it...to the point it could not be repaired....it was just all wore out.

I kept it on my folks farm and it was one of the go to shotguns when we shot clay pigeons.

Then you’d need to get a nice Colt SAA to wear on the other side like The General did. And just because I’m a Smith geek technically you need a Registered Magnum as Smith didn’t assign model numbers until 1957. Just kidding, no offense, yeah I need to get a life.

I really wanted to own HK MP7.

I would like a Holland & Holland double rifle chambered in 416 Rigby or 470 Capstick.
