Subsim Gunners!

I'm interested in seeing if anyone else on here is an avid gun collector/target shooter! So, what's your favorite gun in your possession? Most accurate? Prettiest...ugliest? Wish list?

If so, let's see some pictures! I'll post mine once I'm back home on my own computer. BUT My collection includes (by date of purchase/construction completion):

- Mosin-Nagant M1891/30 7.62x54R
- Taurus Model 63 .22 Repeater
- CZ52 7.62x25 pistol
- DPMS AP4 Law Enforcement Carbine (5.56 M4-style AR)
- Ruger GP100 .357 Revolver
- Remington 1100 12G Shotgun
- Yugoslavian SKS 7.62x39R
- Romanian (Czech BRNO built) .22 training rifle

You're a government agent and this is bait to get me to list my firearms so you can take them away isn't it? Ya, I know your kind come off all friendly like then wammo next thing I know you're knocking on my door flashing badges.

1. German scoped K43
2. Venezuelan FN49
3. Soviet TT33

The list was much longer having had a slew of bolt actions. But I got married and those were the ones I parted with. Out of all of those I'd say the 1903 Springfield was the best shooter and most accurate of the bunch. Should have never let that one go.

You don't have to post any pieces that you feel are of questionable legal status...not that I'm accusing you, of course.

Between pistols, shotguns, rifles, collectibles etc we've got about 65 firearms in total (all legal)

K98 Mauser with Dachau numbers and paperwork... never been fired (by me)

Colt AR-15 with 4 power scope, bayonet, numerous magazine styles (fully auto)

MAK-90 (Fully Auto)

M1 Carbine

M14

numerous hunting rifles and shotguns, my preferred hunting rifle is the Winchester 308.

Couldnt say which one is most accurate as some have not been fired in a while, but the 308 is sighted in almost perfectly at 200 yds and makes the mark quite well.

as for pictures... I'll have to do some diging. I dont think i have any on this machine.

Very jealous of you individuals with the Class IIIs...-sigh- someday. That's very interesting about the K98...I'm somewhat of a bolt-action nut; I've always felt that older rifles showed more craftsmanship and "character". Thanks for the response!

that K98 is a beautiful rifle. Of course it has been extensively restored to like new condition. I believe that it was built in the POW section of Dachau - which, while a shame - its important that such things be preserved.

I really cant wait for the opportunity to fire it.

just remembered - i think the pics are on my portable drive which is currently on loan to a friend in Dallas. I expect it back soon.

we (my father and I, I'm still out to apply for a FOID card, but we live on a farm so it's alright) have a .22 rifle, a .410 shotgun (both of those aren't really the kind that have names, they look very generic)
but the newest pride and joy is a Taurus Judge.

it's a combination .45 and .410 pistol. Obviously for personal defense. and, even better, it's a revolver.

I have some memories of a Marlin .30-30 rifle I got for my thirteenth birthday.
