In Honor of Charlton, What Guns do you own (don't get political!!)

[JDeRouen]

It's fairly impossible to talk about gun ownership and not have it turn political, especially when it's "in honor of (former NRA president) Charles Heston."

Four pages now, and it has pretty much stayed non-political.

[JDeRouen]

Pretty much, but certainly not entirely.

Sorry...

[JDeRouen]

That wasn't directed at you.

[theantiquetiger]

Sorry...

I never saw his comments as political, just a different point of view. I actually just started this topic because I really wanted to see what cool guns members own, like Zemo's collection.

I'm into the old stuff!
45. Caliber Colt single action army......THE classic pistol!
.303 Lee Enfield from WWII, with a custom sport stock (installed in the early fifties)
30-30 Winchester saddle Carbine.

Havent really pursued this much since I moved into the city, but at some point I would love to get an old Henry rifle, Sharps 50 cal., 1860 colt, Smith and Wesson Russian model .44 like Virgil Earp packed, and a ton of other old west firearms.
I've fired Desert Eagles, Uzi's and the like and never really cared for them. Its like cars or motorcycles---Some guys like the newest sport bikes, others prefer classic Harleys, Ariels and Indians....I like the old stuff!

I would like to own a single action six shooter. Some of the new repros that are out look super nice.

[Captain]

Yeh, many of the copies are better than the originals....or current Colts. many of them have a better price too!

I did see a 1853 Colt Peacemaker (not repro) at an estate sale one time. I brought $1000 with me, hoping to pick it up. The lady had a $10,000 price tag on it. I still cannot figure where she got this price. It books at $6000 and you can pick one up one auction arms for $3000.

But it was a beautiful gun!!!

Cool, I'm glad. Things are just different here.
I feel a bit like the token British guy...the one who dressed in red beams
down with the landing party and...."he's gone Jim..."

[Captain]

Yikes!
Nice as they are Colts were definately a dime a dozen item. I dont go to that many gun auctions, but the last time I saw one go for that kind of money (around 4 grand as I recall) the gun was in awesome shape, and came with a boat load of papers proving it was owned by a somewhat famous gun fighter (whose "somewhat famous" name escapes me...?).

...Ooops! Just noticed you said 1853 Colt. This would have been a Patterson not a Peacemaker...and if it still fires would be worth a buck or two.

1853 maybe wrong. It was a Colt Peacemaker with the paper work.

I just googled it, 1873, not 1853.

I own a Walther PPK/S and an H&K USP 9. I have my eyes on a Bushmaster M4 (AR-15) but I don't know if I want to lay out the money for it right now.

I have a 12 Gauge Savage & Stevens Shotgun that my father bought me when I was about 14 yrs old. Still have it.
