What gun should every gun enthusiast have to have?

[Colorado Osprey]

Don't really agree with the M1 thing. I am an avid collector and have owned one, didn't find it very useful. As a nostalgic piece maybe, but no use to me. Same goes for 1911's. Many will disagree. At one time I had 17, 1911's. They are cool and new collectors usually get one.

Most will own an AR-15 at some point as well.


Here is a short list for collectors: (no order)

Older Smith and Wesson 2 or 3 digit model semi-auto pistol (no composite)
Older Smith and Wesson revolver (80's-1994 models)
Colt Python and/or Diamondback (Detective Special or Police are popular as well)
Ruger Single Action Revolver
Ruger Single Six/Bearcat Convertible
Remington 700 BDL
M1903 (there is the nostalgia!) or SMLE
Original Weatherby Mark V Magnum Rifle (pre '72 German guns)
Older (earily 60's or older) Lever action rifle
Colt Single Action Revolver or close copy
Gallery 22 cal pump
Hawkin Muzzle Loader
Remington 870
Quality Over Under Shotgun
Browning Buckmark
Ruger MKI or MkII target pistol
one Glock
Baretta 92
AK47/74
Dragonov
HK-94 or MP5 clone
Sig.. at least one
Derringer.. just one
CETME/HK91 or clone
FN/FAL
Ruger 10/22 and/or Marlin Model 60
Ruger Mini-14/30
Remember no 1911?? Well Colt Delta Elite 10mm not 45ACP


At least here is a place to start.

Wow, that is one hell of a list. That's a lifetime of collecting.


Thanks for the list! I will be keeping it in my archives.
