What if's/your next possible purchase?

12 guage mossberg 500 bantom youth for me. Already half paid off and on order, I am tired of my field grade beating me up cause the LOP is too long and if I shorten it the 28" bbl is just ungainly. It'll cost me more to buy a new bbl and shorten the stock than to just buy the new gun so that's the plan.

I've been looking into carry guns. I'm down to the Ruger LCR or the SP101 in .357 with the 2 1/4" barrel. Always a trade off between size/weight and stopping power

My next purchase will most likely be a Marlin 1895 GBL in 45-70.

If I am able to find one.

My wish list is simple, never ending and could be expensive.

1. A quality 12 or 20 ga. SxS mule eared shotgun. I don't need it but it is one of those guns I've always wanted.

2. A custom 1911, probably a blue Les Baer Commander model.

3. A quality single shot rifle, probably a Ruger No.1, but with a short (22") heavy barrel, open sights in .308. Sounds boring but I've always wanted a single shot in a modern caliber that I already have and load for and I can't get a Sharps in that caliber.

4. A custom double rifle. Specifications are yet to be determined.

5. A Ruger Redhawk in .357. I have a .44 and I want to send both to Hamilton Bowen and have him do his magic.

The other thing I am doing with my small collection is paring it down by selling some of the unused guns I have, mostly plastic semi-auto handguns and replacing most of them with quality older revolvers. Revolvers produced before lawyers and political correctness hit the gun market.

Either another M1A or a Stoner SR-25. Probably the M1A cuz I love steel and walnut, but I haven't decided. Kinda had a hankering for another SSK barrel for my G2 TC. Looking at a .309JDJ. I have a 6.5 and a .375, so I can't imagine why I want another caliber...these 2 have me covered.

I keep thinking about a Rossi 92, with casehardened frame--carbine--in 44-40. One of the things holding me back is that on a couple of websites--I think this one and Cast Boolets, I'm sensing that the bores on these are .429 or bigger. I'd want a bore more close to the original, and would shoot cast bullets only out of it. I don't want to go through the trouble of fooling around making oversize cast bullets fit a bore more suited to an oversize 44 magnum.

rodeo kid · Post by **rodeo kid** » Tue Apr 06, 2010 11:17 pm

Well, I went into my local firarms emporium to get a box of Leverevolution in .357. I wanted to try them in the Rossi 1892 i got in January. Well, I DID NOT GET ANY BULLETS! I did spend $300 to put these three on layaway:
1. Marlin 1894 in .357 with scope(I forgot which brand) $399
2. Winchester Model 1903 .22automatic(not .22lr) $475
3. Colt AR-15 .223Rem $899
I know, it's an illness, but they were all between 90 to 95%, I had been wanting the 1894 and AR for awhile and the little 1903 was just way cool, it kept saying: buy me, buy me, and the prices after dickering seemed ok. So that's the next ones I want.

El Chivo · Post by **El Chivo** » Wed Apr 07, 2010 3:18 am

Tutt you still don't have a .22, do you? Get on it!

There are a few things I might do, but don't need to.

I like the idea of the Henry Mini Bolt .22 which is a scoped bolt gun with no magazine - it's a single shot bolt. That's all I wanted for my first gun and couldn't find a single-shot bolt 22 at the time, except for the Marlin youth model. So I got into leverguns instead.

I also like the idea of a Marlin XLR in 35 Rem. Different from the carbine if I decide to go the way of the 35. Not crazy about the stainless and laminated stock, maybe they will start doing them in black and blue. I guess I could stain the stock black if I wanted to.

I also kind of want to have my 30-30 reamed out to 30-35, only instead of doing it to .358, have it done to .357. Then use cast .358 bullets in it and solve some headaches. Or hunt with it using .357 Barnes XPB's. But if I can get a nice lead bullet load in 30-30 maybe I won't bother. Just an idea.

I also might get a second Marlin 1894c, and scope it for the indoor range. What I'm going to try first, since I have the Weaver detatchable rings, is just take the dang scope off for silhouette matches and put it back on for trips to the indoor range. If the zero is a little off it won't matter for trigger time (it's the groups that count). I can do my .22 the same way, if I decide not to get the Mini-Bolt.

I also need one last ukulele, and a large diaphragm condenser mic.

Guess my next purchase will be a coffin cause, for the life of me, I can't think of another gun I want, let alone need. If I shot one a week, I wouldn't make a full rotation in a year, as it is. Might start looking for some young fellers that would appreciate some cool stuff and part with some of it. Don't have any kids and my great nephews are all eastern panty-wastes ( not that just "eastern" makes them so...just their liberal upbringing)

With you all the way cochise, am picking up on friday a 3rd gen SAA Colt in 45 Colt. 5.5 inch barrel blued case hardened.
Been hankering a long time and as I am in my twilight years thought its time to spend on myself for a change. After that I am looking for a really good 92 in 38/40, then a 12 gauge SxS coach gun. They are achievable goals I reckon. I dream of another Colt SAA in 38/40 3rd gen. It might happen.

It's down to one of the following....

Marlin 1895 in 45/70

But I'm always on the lookout for a nice Ruger #1 in 30-06 or 7x57. Or a Marlin 39A.

But for some strange reason, I've been eyeballing that new R25 from Remington in 7mm-08. A camo AR. Go figure.

I'm a little worried about you Bro, sure you're not running a fever?

A very wise sage once told me that when guns and women are concerned NEED is generally NOT the primary driving force.

My next gun purchase will be either a Uberti Hi-Wall in .45-70 or a Miroku "Winchester" '95 SRC in .30-40 Krag, whichever turns up cheapest when I have the money saved up. But.........

Haven't handled it yet, but looking forward to it.
Know I can't shoot through the irons, and haven't decided what to do about the sights.
I'm thinking it won't look right with a tang sight - it also has a very long tang, so it would need a long sight.
The Marble's I've seen listed for it has a long, long post

It might look better with a Pope sight tapped to different holes toward the front of the tang.

I'm thinking about maybe the Leatherwood 17" 3x Malcolm scope.

(I know, it's $10 cheaper at buffalo arms)

the other option is a receiver peep sight.
Any recommendations here?

Well, I came into a little extra money, so I paid off my three layaways. I just ordered A Pioneer Arms SxS shotgun which should come in next week. American Rifleman rated it very highly and I am half Polish so I Just had to have it as it is made in Poland. After that I am trying to make up my mind between a USFA single action with my name engraved on the backstrap. I would get it from Longhunter with his action job. My other choice is a third generation Colt SAA which is unfired. It is in .44-40 and is nickel with walnut grips. What do you guys think, Colt or USFA? Oh Yeah, the Colt is $1350 aand the USFA is $1122. If I added nickel and walnut grips it would be more than the Colt. All opinions welcomed. just be nice, I don't mean to start a war between Colt and USFA.

El Chivo, just catching up to my own post. Seems it does not want to go away. Wow. I had the pleasure of shooting the 22 Mag out of a prototype weapon built by Dick Casull, and I have to say that I would very much like to own a levergun in said caliber, most likely a Henry.

But overall, I'm still a "big bore" guy and I have other guns I want to purchase first, particularly a shotgun. But I see a 22 mag levergun in my future!

Nemhed, you might look at a Henry Lever Carbine, it has the 16" barrel but has the adult stock and the larger lever loop. I have one and it is great for squirrels at 40yds or so. Even with my old eyes and iron sights if I can get one to sit still for a few seconds I don't miss. God Bless.

I need to get my Swede Mauser sporter project sorted, start gathering parts for a M1903 restoration and a 1903A3 sporter project and that settles it for rifles.

I'd like a full size .45ACP 1911 as a parts swapping learning tool (like an RIA or the like), an Officer's sized to try out and a full sized .38 Super. If I don't like the Super I can get a 9x19 and/or 9x23 barrel to fool with. Maybe even a new ejector and .400 CorBon barrel, who knows? That probably settles it for handguns.

I'd LOVE an Advantage Arms Target .22LR conversion for the 1911 but I can't justify the cost for what would be a really high end plinker in my hands. I do need one of the standard conversions for my G19 though. Too bad they're all backordered 14+ weeks.

Of course I need to move what I have listed in the FS Forum first....

Since this has been brought back up, I thought it would be fun to revisit what I thought I wanted.

The Swede and 1903 resto are gone and the 1903 sporter is on the far back burner. The 1911 bug has receded but it's still in the background. I wound up with a Tactical Solutions 1911 conversion since I found one at a really good price.

At this point, the Super Single Six I picked up has got the fire burning for a short barrel .357 BH (4 5/8"?) and I wouldn't be opposed to a .357/9mm convertable. Another .22 semi-auto pistol would be fun.

Yes it's a glass bead blast finish. The gun is a regular 629 Classic worked over by a German company called Wischo that recently went out of business, this gun and others where sold of when the company went under at much reduced prices too.

It's been a really good couple of months for me. I sold a few of my flintlocks (Sorry Matt Avance from TVM) which gave me some "Gun Money". (Don't tell Mama!!)

June - picked up a Marlin 89 in 38-40. Fair to good. Great bore, just have to find the right load.

July- Another 89 I couldn't pass up. This one made in "91" and in 44-40. It is near Excellent and looked 15 years old. (probably a very old re-do) The bore is better than most of my arteries! Wasn't going to buy the sweetheart, but it knew my Bank account number.

July again- A Winchester SRC in 38-55 made in 1901. Bore is excellent, and she loves 8 gr of Trail Boss almost as much as 17 gr of 5744. Tube was cut down to 3 rounds but she is a real honest gun. I have a full tube and will be bring her back.

And ... "Ta-Da"... along with that first 89 I picked up my dream gun - a Winchester 73 second model in 44-40 made in "81" in V good condition.
-Took the 73 to my last cowboy shoot and the old girl is a tack driver. Shot black powder (38+ gr loads) all day without a single hiccup.

I'm still cooing like a teenager with his first woody.

Looks like my Uberti's will be visiting Gunbroker.
