[BigBlue]

A lot of the guns I buy, are spur of the moment, I just happened to see them, and know I can't live without them. This year I want to keep my eye out for a medium bore in .338 Win Mag, probably a Ruger M77, a compact .308 maybe the Rem. 7600, and a nice flintlock, Lyman Great Plains or Austin + Halleck .50.

What's on your list for the new year?

Don

[357Blackhawk]

Since the AWB died (yippie!!!) I'm hoping for an AR 15 or an AR 10.

I'd also like to look over one of those new LH action Mini Mausers by Charles Daly.

[cheekser]

well, I share the impulse-ishness you describe. that being said, the only rifle I am on the lookout to accquire before the next deer season is a compact, all-weather, and possibly scout rifle in .308 (definitely left-handed.)

oh, and of course I still desire a target-sighted .22 bolt-action....and did I mention that I'll be grabbing a CZ452, if the leftie versions are really here before '06, dagnabit.

[7.62mmFMJ]

I will be looking for a varminter or two. Possibly a med/big bore long range bolt as well.

[Fug]

I'm hoping to not have to sell any this year :up:

[Rabbi]

Probably my only rifle for the year will be a Marlin lever action with 18" tube. It will be equipped with large scout scope and sling. I will only go with the .45-70 caliber because I cannot see adding more equipment to load .450 when I'm already well tooled up on the government round.

I'm hoping I can get it before my March hog hunt in TN.

[Popeye]

A British military Pattern 14. .303 British

A U.S. military Kraig-Jorgensen. .30-40 Kraig

A Browning A-Bolt. 7mm Magnum.

A South American military Remington 1897 Rolling Block. 7mm Mauser.

[Wayne the Shrink]

Get the reciever sight on the 1895 Winchester, work up a load for it with the 350 gr LBT bullet now that I have the chronograph. The '95 Mauser is now in to be blued and a scope base fitted, new bolt handle, ect., and I need to pay for all that, plus get a scope for it. Pull the barrel of the RRB and clean up the action, decide what to do with it - almost certainly 45-70.

New rifles? I have my hands full with the ones I have!

[Tom Gunn]

I sold my Ruger No1 in .45-70 (22" barrel) and would like to replace it with a Browning or Winchester single shot also in .45-70 with tang sight and 28" barrel if I could find one. I read where the Browning black powder version has special rifling just for cast bullets. I'm not sure about that. I would want to shoot both cast and jacketed bullets. Any of you know which version would work best for both cast and jacketed?

[armoredman]

Pay for one Mosin 91/30, buy another 1920 Izzy 91 waiting for me in the wings, get raises, buy AK clone for wifey poo, and FAL for me, or, if raises DON'T come through, try to snag a pair of SKS Yugos for us. Love the Mosins - need something she can shoot that's semi-auto.....
After that? A 10/22, a Chipmunk 22 for the kid, and maybe a Mauser k98.....

[Dane]

I want to do my AR-15 build (reciever should be here Friday!), and to get a new, accurate, center-fire boltie, in either .308 or .30-'06. Been using a Remington 1903-A3 from 1943, and the barrel is starting to annoy me. Plus, it's not my gun yet. :D :D

[Marinesg1012]

I have an M4gery on order. I want to build an AR10 like my AR15>LRDM, and what I REALLY want if I can convince all those that kind of have a say, is a full auto M16 lower. :D :D :D :D (I say it is my money and if I have it than I probably got shot at for it, the southern bell, says we can travel a lot of places on that kind of cash, we shall see though :D)

[GAU-2]

Adam, I saw a nice M-16 on Subguns for $8900! LOL

Sincerely,
GAU-2

[Marinesg1012]

Ken I have to go to the playground BEFORE I can afford such things.

[Jbar4Ranch]

I've always wanted a Thompson... reckon I'll have to settle for the semi-auto version though, cuz I just can't justify ten to twenty grand at the moment. :D

[HiPower]

I want to get:

a Marlin Guide Gun,
a Savage 99 in .358
a Win. m71

my task will be to get at least one this year!

[GI Joe]

Puma Model 92- 480 Ruger (I should have it by week's end)

CZ 550 Safari Magnum- 505 Gibbs

Remington BDL- 7 MM Magnum (not sure on this yet)

[RED DOG-40]

HK UMP-45 w/AAC Suppressor.....:D
or a 30-338 sniper.....Dreams, dreams, some day....:up:

[BigBlue]

RabbiWhile I dearly love the 45/70, I traded in my Marlin 1895G in 45/70, but bought a Marlin Outfitter 444P. The 444 may lack some of the 45/70's punch, but shoots much more accurate than the 45/70 did, three .429" bullets shot at 50 yards in a hole that measured .493" edge to edge. I do still have a 45/70, but a single shot H+R Buffalo Classic.
Don

[BigBlue]

I've always wanted a Thompson... reckon I'll have to settle for the semi-auto version though, cuz I just can't justify ten to twenty grand at the moment. :DThere's just something about the look and feel of a Thompson! I don't know if it was watching Vic Morrow in the television show Combat, but I've always drooled over the Thompson. I once had a choice of a AR-15A2, or a Thompson, I should have picked the Thompson.
Don

[t driver]

I'd like to get a nice bolt gun or two.
A high grade Mauser and something in .308.

[ducktapehero]

I will be buying a 357 levergun, along with a 357 wheelgun to go along with it. Hopefully I'll pick up a 30-30 and a 22 levergun too.

[ducktapehero]

I forgot to add, I may get an SKS and a Saiga in 7.62x39

[JTKiser]

Id like to grab a Blued Bull Barrel Remingtion Sendero in 7mm STW caliber... I havent seen one yet, but it is my dream gun... I can hit quarters at 250 yards almost every time with my Sendero 25-06 a 6.5-20x50 scope and a harris bipod :)

[Plinker]

Don't really need anymore guns,not that has ever stopped me from get'n another one. :)

Just need time to shoot and tinker with the ones I already have.

[Bobby]

pay visa off[ real close],keep what I have and maybe shoot a little more.find some real bargains on some surplus ammo for the long anchors.
Get that picture on the forum of the 30/30 when beck gits back from San Diego next week.Bobby

[Ketchupshirt88]

any rifle would be good for me.....my parents keep delaying the inevitable

originally the deal was as soon as i convince step mom....now my grades next quarter are the factor even though i had a 3.something GPA last quarter..... next they'll say i'm too young and all my hard work will be in vain

[BigBlue]

ketchupshirt88,

Keep the faith, all things come to those who wait. My Dad's a Liberal, he hates guns and would rather see them all banned. At least for us law abiding citizens. He voted for Clinton twice, once for Gore, and once for Kerry, gungrabbers all. I got through that, you'll be okay. :up:
Don

[dipodomys]

Hopefully a BSA .22 W target sights. 6.5x55 New toy. Mosin Nagant.

Tom Gunn I think what they're talking about is the Enfield type rifling which is supposed to reduce leading from cast slugs, which will work fine for jacketed slugs as well. The lands and grooves are rounded instead of being cut sharp. Think about H&Rs buffalo special for that 45-70.

Armored Man I saw a NIB AK at the gun show this weekend for $200+. Commercial, semi only straight out of Izmash. Not ex military but built to sell commercially, while old beat up ex military AKs were selling for over $1000.

[Paul Gauthier]

Hoping to get a Savage 99 in 30-30 in order to rebarrel it to 7-30 Waters.
Another barrel for my TCR-87
A S&W 1917
and maybe a lever gun in 45/70

[Miner]

I keep telling myself that I do not need any more. But here is the problem. I can pick up a like new AR-10 for about $1k, or a like new Bushmaster 16" AR for $650. Would like to have both but at this time, due to possible taxes owed, can only get one.

[DWARREN123]

I want a CZ 527 in Varmint or Lux chambered in 5.45X39! Cute little round.

Don Warren :P

[soulpony]

I'm hoping for a Browning BAR, just can't get the wife to go the 2700 for it.

[GAU-2]

LOL Well, mostly, I want to finish up all the projects I've started, I'm trying very hard not to add any new irons to the fire. I've already "removed" about 8 from the fire this week alone! :o When I get all of them done, I think I might tackle a couiple scratch built bolt guns. one in .45 ACP, one in .223, and another in .308. Oh well..... that'll be a WHILE down the road.

Sincerely,
GAU-2

Sincerely,

A .45 ACP bolt gun? Darn, is there enough pressure/velocity in there to get the slug out the end of the barrel? LOL!! :D :D :D

[Popeye]

Well...Today a CZ-550 Varmint Synthetic chambered in .308 arrived at the shop. It has a heavy barrel and an H S Precision stock. To make a long story short, it now has my name on it and should be paid for by February first. It will be a big brother to my CZ-527 Varmint Synthetic chambered in .223. Now all I have to do is get the one chambered in .22-250.

[dipodomys]

Ambitious in the new year aintcha Gau2? Good luck with the scratches. Let us know how they turn out if you decide to do them. Zirc A bolt isn't that much different than the levers they're making in .45 Colt.

[si6]

hummmm....
A new year is upon me and i for see a couple new additions to the gun cabinet.

i just cant say any more without gettin in trouble at home....

hope hntrss dont see this thread or im in trouble.......hehhehe

[Striker]

Remington 7600P!

http://www.remingtonle.com/rifles/7600.htm :up:

[7.62mmFMJ]

The 7600P does look like a handy little rifle. 7 lbs, pump. .308.

Thanks for the response, that helps. I'll check out the H&R. Noticed you are from SW OK. Been there. My son was at Altus AFB for four years. Made for a fun 2-day motorcycle ride (1000 miles one-way) to visit the grand-babies. Fond memories. Loved the 55 MPH speed limit between Lawton and Altus (yawn).

Sorry, we just had this discussion tonite. There will be NO EBR in our cabinet until my promised 223 is there first!!!!

[Miner]

I guess I decided. Went to the toy store today and left a deposit on the AR-10. Should have it home in a couple weeks.

[MtJerry]

Sorry, we just had this discussion tonite. There will be NO EBR in our cabinet until my promised 223 is there first!!!!

What kind of .223 are you looking for?

[BigBlue]

Remington 7600P!

http://www.remingtonle.com/rifles/7600.htm :up:That is one handy little rifle. A great brush gun. I looked at them at the same time as I was looking at the Ruger M77 Compact. Walmart has a good price on them. My local dealer was asking $399. I may still end the year with one in my gun safe.

[Zircon]

Well I'm sure you know that evil black rifles and the .223 caliber are not mutually exclusive? Sounds to me like Mr. and Ms. EBRs need to reside in that cabinet. The only thing you gotta watch is that they'll spawn a whole new generation of baby EBRs. Darn things reproduce just like rabbits!! :D :D :D

[Adolf H. Bubba]

I hope that I can scrounge up a decent AK at a great price.
Ohio Ordinance AK47 recievers any good?

[TODD 3465]

Build a full stocked 7mm Mauser carbine on a Mauser '98 action.


Build a FAL carbine. :)

[Rabbi]

I guess I'd better revise my entry. Now that my March Pig Hunt in Tennessee is called off, I don't need the Marlin guide gun yet so I'm going to build an AR-15 to keep my Panther company. Our friend Rotty has built a couple and he only lives fifteen miles away in case I need to holler for help.

I'm going to buy a finished lower and then build the exact upper I want from parts. A sixteen inch bull barrel in .223 with 1:9 and chrome lined chamber and barrel, standard carry handle, front and rear sights and six position telescoping stock. This ought to be fun.

Rabbi

[GMAN]

I have a RRA stripped lower and I'm going to build a AR-15 comando from a J&T kit.

[Miner]

The AR-10 followed me home yesterday. Will have to acquire a scope and mount, will try to post pics as soon as I do.

[Zircon]

I've got a 1" Armalite scope mount for an AR-10 that I'll make you a good deal on. If your interested PM me.

[Rabbi]

Do you have a link for the J&T kits or your source?

Tks,

Rabbi

[Wayne the Shrink]

Oh, my! Since I posted Bill (my smith) showed me a Mosin foreward bolt section he had opened up for 45-70. I have enough projects, I have enough projects, I have enough projects ...

But talk about a short, handy guide gun! The potential is endless.

Sounds a lot like the Gibbs Enfield, but I would also rather have it in the Mosin M38. Never enough projects, that's what winter was made for. You could probably build a nice business out of rechambering the Mosin's for 45-70. There are a lot of them running around now, and most guys that buy one, usually go back for another. Especially at about $60 a pop. I have a Mosin M38 that I keep just for rainy day hunting, using Sako soft points. I never started loading for the 7.62 X 54R.

Don.

[Popeye]

Addition:

I'm looking at a very lightly used Sako 75 (pre-Beretta) stainless synthetic in 7mm Rem Mag. Dunno why? I already have an excellent Remington 700 BDL (mfg 1970) in that caliber.

[Adolf H. Bubba]

Get that SAR-1 that was for three fifty at KC gun and pawn and pop some plastic furniture on it, instead of that yucky old wood stock.
