OT - I am assuming ....

[Old Savage]

That in heaven we can all have the guns back we didn't want to get rid of - the SAAs including New Frontiers and the Colt 22s and the Winchester 1971 NRA commemorative.........

[stew71]

...and there are never shortages of primers, powder, and bullets either.

[gamekeeper]

Make sure y'all end up in Heaven or you might find yourself in Britain!

[Rusty]

...and your aim will always be perfect.

My pastor says that the worst part is when you draw a bead on a huge 12 point buck he'll look at you and say "Praise the Lord He's worthy".

[Modoc ED]

All God ever promised was to take your soul. I don't recall a 2nd Ammendment in the Bible but we can all hope for the best.

[jnyork]

I once had a discussion with a person over whether or not there are dogs in heaven. Seems to me like it would be a mighty poor place without them.

[Blaine]

Ain't there a lot of that Beatin' Swords Into PloughShares? Don't bode well, IMO.....

I'll settle for pizza and lot's of turning water into wine, though

I was looking for what you guys would like to have back not a swooning poetry contest.

...providing that the caretakers aren't the New Orleans Police!

[Old Savage]

First guy heads off the trail and everybody else follows.

First guy heads off the trail and everybody else follows.

Hahaha... I had to laugh out loud. Sorry friend Old Savage! You just can't keep us wisecrackers reigned in on this one!

Okay, I'll start:
The first gun that I ever owned - later stolen by a "friend" - a gun that I purchased as a very young man because it was the same one shown at the opening screen of "The Untouchables" TV series (1959-63) -
Colt Police Positive Special .38 Special revolver with the standard 4" barrel

My first high powered hunting rifle, given to me by my Dad and later stolen by a gunsmith via a staged "fire" who was apparently supplying the IRA with guns -
Pre-64 Winchester Model 70 .270 bolt action rifle

M1 Garand .30-06 in VG+ condition, obtained after attending an NRA sponsored Civilian Marksmanship match with my brother-in-law - I sold this to purchase something else

Several others, but those three mean the most to me.

[SmokeEater2]

Good thread Old Savage! First would be the 1873 Winchester in .38 WCF that my Dad gave me when I was 10 to deer hunt with. The extractor didn't work so you had to dig the fired case out with a pocketknife, it was in decent shape and shot well enough but being a complete idjit I traded it away in the early 70's for a Winchester 94 NIB ( I swear I remember M94's selling for around 99 bucks new at that time) I'd also like to have the little .22/410 OU Bronco made by (I think) Garcia it was all metal with a skeleton stock and weighed next to nothing and I used it coon hunting for several years until I dropped it one night and watched it go sliding off a bluff into Lake Norfork. While I'm wishing,The colt 1911 70 series that shot like a lazer beam that I trade off and still miss.
There's a lot more but those spring to mind this morning. I sure hope the good Lord takes pity on fools like me and has a big gun rack with my name on waiting when I get there.

Old Savage,

thanks for clarrifying the topic. I was a bit confused as to what you were asking. Getting old sucks.

As for the topic at hand, I can remember a grade VI Browning Citori in 12 that went with a grade VI Browning .22 BAR. that pair was all I hunted and shot with for several years in Chasn., SC.

I would like my first .45acp (series 70) that was worked over and tricked out

And perhaps my first Garand.

[JerryB]

I would be satisfied to get back an 1886 45-70, Trapdoor 45-70, a Colt New Police 32-20 among others that I bought and traded off back in the 1960's. But I know it's not to be.

[gamekeeper]

I wouldn't mind being reunited with my first 9422M it shot a lot better than the one I have now my .58 Buffalo Carbine is also sadly missed but the one I would love to have back the most, would be a BSA super sportsman .22 B/A that I had to sell when I was broke.

[JustaJeepGuy]

My question is, what if all those guns everyone "let go" and wants back are someone else's keepers? Do they get to keep them or not?

[El Chivo]

I was looking for what you guys would like to have back not a swooning poetry contest.

yeah, just wait until the crying starts...

[mescalero1]

OS,
notice I avoided this altogether.

[Old Savage]

JeepGuy - that is one of the cool things about heaven - just as you can hit duplicate here there it can be done with guns or my first pocket knife someone in Davenport Iowa stole - a Camillus model 51 Barlow if anyone comes across it.

Mescy1 - sometimes I just can't keep your attention without .... the middle one is my haircutter gal.

[mescalero1]

I am speechless

[rjohns94]

that got my attention

[Old Savage]

She used to drive some sort of formula race cars at 160+ mph - her father was world go kart racing champion some years ago.

[mescalero1]

I gotta hang out with you

Sounds like something said about wives who remarry after the husband dies. Who does she belong to?
