My favorite firearm is the one I’m holding when an uninvited guest enters my house.

Favorite rifle; Pre 64 model 70
Favorite pistol; 1911 Colt
Favorite shotgun; Fox double barrel

When I win the lottery I’ll buy as many as I can.

30-40 Krag , Nice :!: looks like a sporterized version :?: I have a vintage box of 30-40 Krag ammo on my shelf waiting someday to field the the rifle too. Next week I am picking up a Springfield 1903 modified sport with a Bishop stock and scope , the sport units have much appeal to me...

Hey Jackman, I like them too! My Dad's that I take to the range once in a while. No scope, peeps only. I can still see good enough if I've got a 4" blaze orange dot on the bull's eye at 100 yds :lol: :lol: Brother takes it out for PA deer season!

These are my toys. My favorite for target shooting is the 44 revolver. The Hawkins is more like a shoulder cannon! Both are are a joy to shoot. The 40 cal is so-so, but a good home defence weapon.

I don't have one. But, I've always like the Glock 23; Browning M1911A1 but would settle for any .45 really, Armalite AR15 and the Mossberg 500.

I'll probably never be able to ever afford any of them. But one day, I'd like to have something.

The AR-15 is "one " of my favorites. I just finished building this Rock River A4 Mid-Length....
Lots of "Stuff" on this one. :roll:
LaRue Tactical Scope mount & Bi-Pod mount.
Wilson Stainless Steel 16" Barrel, 1:8" Twist rate.
Troy Battle Rail.
Magpul Stock.
Jard Trigger.
Etc... Etc.....
The best part about AR-15's is that you can build it any way you like. 8-)
