Your next 3 to 5 gun acquisitions planned?

Yep, that's the question. Just a snapshot in time of some people's "in the market for" positions...

In order,

Guns:
-Tanfoglio Witness 6" Hunter 10mm
-T/C G2 frame with Bulberry 8" .357 max bbl with 12 twist
-RIA combo 2-stack 1911 in 9x19 and .22 TCM
-Marlin 1895 SBL .45-70 (possibly)
-some AR15 in 6.5 Grendel, 16" middy lightweight (possibly)

dakiwi13 · June 13, 2014, 09:11 PM

Been wanting to get a 92fs back in my safe for yrs now, just havent found the right timing, x-5 is first in line on my list if price is right, then sig scorpion to keep my spartan company in the safe, then hopefully a sphynx, and a ps90

Jay24bal · June 13, 2014, 10:45 PM

Yes, mine are. At the moment, here is the order

1. Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor
2. 20 gauge semi-auto shotgun
3. S&W 629
4. Another AR, this one built for precision shooting.

FrankenMauser · June 13, 2014, 10:54 PM

In no particular order:

Ruger Bearcat.
With other projects on the table, that'll do for now.

1stmar · June 14, 2014, 01:12 AM

Mini 14
Rossi 357 lever
Para ordnance black ops p14
Para ordnance pro custom
H&R buffalo classic or sharps 45-70
Bolt 22 lr (only if the shortage ever frees up some ammo)

ballardw · June 14, 2014, 01:15 AM

Several years ago I put together an ordered wishlist with about 15 on it. Since several were out of production, like the Automag in .44, or just plain expensive I knew they were likely out of my reach. But a few were available at less than I expected.

And then there were the deals that were just too good...

B.L.E. · June 14, 2014, 07:43 AM

Rather than acquiring more guns, I really need to sell some of my closet queens that I haven't shot in years.

As someone who does a lot of competition shooting, I have kind of dropped out of the gun arms race mostly because over the years I have slowly come to the realization that the world's most expensive trap shotgun isn't going to make me a champion trap shooter any more than a Stradivarius violin will make me able to play like Joshua Bell.

Eazyeach · June 14, 2014, 08:06 AM

1. Glock 19
2. Ruger 10/22
3. Ruger SR1911
4. S&W shield 9mm
5. Mossberg 500/590 or Remington 870 HD shotgun
6. Oh wait you said 3-5 my bad. I could go on and on and on

Kreyzhorse · June 14, 2014, 08:12 AM

I had zero plans to buy any guns this year. That being, I joined a gun club that was part of the CMP and suddenly I could buy a H&R M1 Garrand so I simply had to order one.

Fast forward a few months and I really started to enjoy trap shooting. Of course while lots of generous folks let me shoot their guns, I needed my own and that led to a Beretta Silver Pigeon Sporting Over Under.

At this point, I have no gun plans for the next two years.

Well said sir

RickB · June 14, 2014, 11:29 AM

Most of my gun-buying plans went out the window when I married into a turn-key family.

A gun that I've been waiting for, for six years now, is the oft-rumored Vltor reboot of the Bren Ten. If it ever does make it to market, I'll get one.
Guns that interest me, though I don't know if they're interesting enough to actually "plan" to buy:

SIG P238 or P938
AR pistol (10mm?)
Colt New Frontier
Something that will accept a suppressor

38superhero · June 14, 2014, 11:33 AM

1. 5+ inch 9mm (xd 5.25, Glock 17L, G34)
2. shotgun 18.5 barrel (have 2 20's and a 30 inch)
3. Ruger american compact in .308
4. Compact .40 cal
5. Glock 20

Ozzieman · June 14, 2014, 05:28 PM

1. S&W 96 44 mag
2. Kimber Solo
3. American tactical MP40 22 lr
4. SGS STG 44 22 LR
5. Ruger SP101 or 100 in a 5 shot 44 special (I can dream cant I)

Pinky Carruthers · June 14, 2014, 07:08 PM

Walther CCP
AR-10
CZ P-09

Skans · June 16, 2014, 04:21 PM

CZ75
Grand Power K100
S&W 627
Polytech M14s or PTR-91 (haven't decided yet)
Claridge Hi-Tech

Bigfatts · June 16, 2014, 05:13 PM

I find it much more fun to wait until just before hunting season and start cruising the used fun racks at the local gun and pawns. Never know what some old timer or inheritee will shake loose and trade off. I'm much more interested in classic european sporting rifles than anything currently made so planning my long gun purchases in advance leads to frustration too much of the time.

But to join in the spirit of the thread I have one, maybe two purchases planned:

-An AR pistol. Configuration and specific parts yet to be determined although I know I will be using the Sig brace.
-Taurus Judge. Maybe. Mostly because I'm a nerd and want the Voice of Justice.

guruatbol · June 16, 2014, 05:35 PM

Yep, 45-70 lever gun. Leaning toward the Marlin. 308 BFR, Desert Eagle in 44 mag, and finally the little two shot derringer in 45-70.

Size matters!

Unlicensed Dremel · June 16, 2014, 07:37 PM

I've already changed mine up:

-CZ 550 FS, 6.5x55
-Tanfoglio Witness 6" Hunter 10mm
-T/C G2 frame with Bulberry 8" .357 max bbl with 12 twist
-RIA combo 2-stack 1911 in 9x19 and .22 TCM
-Bison Armory 16" AR15 in 6.8 "BSP" (6.8 spc ii with 7 twist, for subsonic 200s)

Hon. Mentions
-Marlin 1895 SBL .45-70
-Benelli Montefeltro Silver 26" 20 ga
-Marlin 1894 round bbl .45 colt
-Savage 24c Camper's Companion .22lr / 20 ga
-Dan Wesson "Guardian" C-Bob 1911 in 9x19mm
-Rossi 62 pump 16" carbine .22lr
-PWS T3/Summit .22lr receiver, for a build

I bought a Henry lever carbine (16" but not youth) .22lr today but that may end up being a gift to my sister (unless today's Supreme Court ruling bans gifts of guns to others: http://america.aljazeera.com/article...wpurchase.html )

Colt46 · June 16, 2014, 10:54 PM

I need to get a savage axis for a build in 6.5 swede I have planned, build an AR for a stripped lower I acquired, get my first nine(CZ-75 compact), and a .22 auto like buck mark or ruger MK II.

Machineguntony · June 16, 2014, 11:44 PM

Not in order:

Colt 10mm Delta Elite Colt Custom shop with Pearl grips, among other upgrades.

Colt Grizzly, NIB or nearly NIB with Original box

DLO HK registered trigger box, capable of accepting a roller sear

Host for my newly acquired steel AR15 RDIAS

Upgrade to MK43 or E6 for my newly papered M60

Steyr Aug E3 with full auto parts as a host for my Steyr Aug F/A

BigBL87 · June 17, 2014, 04:25 PM

I'm pretty much done for the time being. Only thing I really am looking to buy is a semi auto 22 rifle to go with my Savage Mark II. Really want a Ruger 10/22, also considering a Mossberg 702 mainly for the price and since I'm mainly just planning on adding a red dot sight and calling it good.

I already have a Mossberg 500 Field/Home combo, SAR B6P, Savage Mark II FV, and a Crosman Vantage air rifle. Can't afford an AR like I would like, so a semi 22 seems to round it out.

jimbob86 · June 17, 2014, 06:25 PM

In no particular order:

M38 and M39 Mosins

M1 Garand

Ruger sp101 in .327 Magnum

Ruger GSR

Milsurp Mauser (I'd like a 98K, but a Yugo is more likely)

Colt Delta Elite

Coonan .357

The list could go on and on ......

Brotherbadger · June 18, 2014, 02:55 AM

In no particular order:

WASR or NPAP AK
Ruger 10/22
Sig P320 or a Glock 19
