What's missing from your collection ?

Aaarrrg. Wouldn't ya know it. There's been a hole in my collection for quite some time and there is currently a gun listed here at GB that would fill that that hole. Naturally I don't have the funds to purchase it. Of course, even if I had funds available, the price will probably go through the roof before the auction is over.

What's missing from your collection?

Remember Ruby Ridge.

What if there were no hypothetical questions?

    I've got a few gaps, but their not anything I'm desprate for or actually think I'd shoot much ... and most of them I've had and sold or traded for something cause I wan't that impressed with them in the first place ... like the HK 93, HK MK23 Socom, HK VP70Z to name a few.

    AK Pistol would be cool ... never had one of them ...

    I wouldn't mind getting another UZI carbine and a micro to go with it. [:p]

    What I'd really like is to SBR a couple of my HK type rifles, but its a no-no in Kansas ... not that there is a law aginst SBR's, (there is a law on the books prohibiting supperssors, automatic weapons, short-barreled shotguns - but not short-barreled rifles), still, I've yet to find a LEO that will sign off for them.

    What's missing? All kinds of stuff! Most of the Colt combustibles, most of the FA rimfire experimentals, a mule ear Sharps, .69 C&T rimfire, original Crispins, tear gas rounds in .30-06 / .50 BMG, the aluminum bullet Daytona Beach .30-06 experimentals, some of the Bang experimentals, most Gerlich types and more prototypes or prototype loadings (AP / tracer / etc.) from 1910-45 than even I can imagine. At least 1000 rounds all told.

    I still have this crazy voice whispering to me that I really do need a Barrett. I've been able to resist so far but don't know how much longer I will be able to resist. My wonderful wife said "If you really want it, get it.". What to do?

    I want to have a Colt .45LC or .44-40 first Generation even if it's in the crappiest conditions. I have always wanted one and the first time I shot my 1877 Thunderer (made in 1901) I knew I had to have one of the first big guns.

    I need a good Colt 1911 .45 ACP. As usual, the prices are outrageous, but I'll find one.

    This one's a beauty, but apparently way over priced (sob):

    A Rger Red Label 28ga, anniversary model. I should have never gotten the first one but now that I have the 12 and 20 I want the 28. Soon, just don't want to buy it new.

    The members on this board,also have me looking for a 25/06. Their constant praise of this caliber has given me an itch. I don't use most of my acuasitions though,so I will search for the bargain. The last time this happened, I got an urge for a caliber, I bought a 270 sako.

    What's missing from my safe??? - THE KEYS !!??!!
    Nah, phew.. found them.

    The next serious buy for the safe, would be something I can use to hunt deer and that is precise enough to do some targetting at longer ranges than just 2-300 yards.
    Might be Steyr Scout Tactical Elite .308 - definately something light, preferably short - might even be a custom Armalon PR rifle like I used to have.
