5 guns that you need to own once in your life.

[Garufa]

I can't narrow myself down to 5. Can we go up to 10?

All the bases seem to be covered except I would add somewhere in the mix:

- Any classic military bolt gun (Enfield, Mauser, Springfield or M1917)

- M1 Carbine. I really love those things.

- A LUGER

[enfield]

A Mauser -- to teach you what a trigger can be.

[Mike.357]

I can do the basic need to have list of five.

1. US made milsurp

2. 1911 in .45ACP

3. Model 60

4. Remington pump 12 gauge shotgun

5. 1958 Remington NMA in .44 w/.45 LC conversion cylinder.

[Im Neero]

I'd have to go with:

1. Any S&W Revolver

2. A 1911

3. A .22lr rifle (10/22 seems to be the universal draw)

4. A 12ga shotgun (Remington Mossberg or Winchester, take your pick)

5. A 'military-style' rifle (AR15, AK, Garand, etc...)

I was going to post my list until I saw that it was already up there. I've got to get a .22 one day.

[Guest Jason F.]

Well I have owned or currently own

-1911

-S&W Revolver

-10/22

-old mil surp rifle

-common 9mm service type semi auto handgun

-22 plinker handgun

So other than finishing one of the partly completed AR15's and getting a M1 I am in pretty good shape.

I agree with the 1911, AR (or AK), and 10/22 comments. All must haves.

[Guest docvantrease2003]

all of the above still got some of them

[Guest docvantrease2003]

you left out the most important one the wheel gun

[Guest gcrookston]

1. A high quality .22 pistol like a S&W 41, 17 or Hammerli

2. A fine shotgun such as a Beretta 682, Winchester 21, etc.

3. A fun plinker/ammo waster like an AK47 or M4

4. A percision target/varmint rifle

5. A Luger
