Got a 20" Colt, a Winchester 63 and a bring-back GI Carbine.. Dunno as how I'd need any other semi-auto.

I've looked at this for a while without responding... Mostly because I've been pondering about it. I'm semi satisfied with my gun collection for now. My hankerings arernt really for any more semi auto rifles right now, and my budget is limited. If I had to get all semi autos I ever wanted soon, and budget was less an issue, my list is as follows...

-first and foremost, a FAL
-AR10
-folding stock AK
-dedicated precision AR
-druganov... Yes a druganov... Had to be an oddball

I have my top 5 and some in duplicate:
1. M1 Garand
2. M1A
3. AR-10
4. AR-15
5. M1 Carbine

I had a really sweet and minty Springfield Trapdoor 45-70 Government (I think it was model of 1878). I believe the mint cartouche was SWP 1894 but can't recall. I was made an offer I couldn't refuse and have always regretted selling that rifle. I have yet to find one in as good of condition as what I let go. I doubt such a rifle will ever be affected by Gun Control.

Transferrable Stoner 63
Transferrable FG42
Transferrable M240
Transferrable HK Sear inside separately transferrable HK21
Bonified Farquharson, fanciest model ever made

I do believe that with these five rifles, I would be capable of trading for all the others in existence (or simply taking them by force )

Colt M4A1
DSA SA58 OSW
M1 Garand
Auto Ordnance Thompson M1
Henry 1860 .45LC

no particular order, but these are all firearms that I own and the ones that I like to shoot the most; I'm about done "collecting" firearms, but these are ones that I would never part with if I came to the point of selling some of my firearms down the road
