It’s not a rare or unique firearm that would be hard to replace for me. It’s the laws. In the shit hole that is Washington, almost everything I own would be illegal to buy again. My overlords would allow me to replace a few hand guns is about it.

Well, I have my Father’s BHP that he obtained a war trophy in Vietnam. So, for me, it’s a one-of-a-kind and would be impossible to replace.
My Colt-Thompson 1921AC wouldn’t be impossible to replace but likely cost prohibitive. |

Would you mind posting a picture of that BHP? @Makarov Sorry about the Gay photobucket banner     This gun was taken from an infiltrator arrested on Tan Son Nhut Air Base in a suspected plot to assassinate CINCPAF. It is a commercial marked “T-series” BHP but has been heavily wire brushed, still has significant pitting, sports a Chinese-type dipped blue finish and varnish on the grips. It was captured equipped with a Canadian Inglis magazine. |

Charlton Heston's Colt SAA, built on an Ainsworth inspected Colt SAA four digit frame and converted by Stembridge Gun Rentals in the 1950s would be a challenge.
 Winchester 1873 First Model Deluxe with a 30in barrel, set trigger, XXX Fancy Walnut shipped December 31, 1874 would also be a challenge.

Colt Combat Commander made by Claudio Salassa when he was at Briley Custom. Old s6chool two tone. Blued slide on a stainless frame. hand fitted Bar-Sto barrel, and fantastic trigger.
Custom Marlin 336 take-down with a collapsing stock. I've never seen another one. An original Hudson H9. Unfired, and the first one off the production line and verified by Cy Hudson. Serial number 1000. Pre production guns started with 1. Production guns started at 1000. In the maybe class, a West German marked SIg Sauer P226 X5 in the original box, and the .22 conversion kit with a threaded barrel. Caesar Guerini Summit LTD 12 gauge with a left hand stock. Single Action only standard CZ75 with .22 Cadet conversion. I have my father and uncles Remington Nylon 66 rifles. |

Civil war era Lorenz Rifle.
Was visiting my friend (FFL and dog groomer), guy walks in with the rifle. We both though it was repo, so my friend wasn't interested. I told him I would take it for $50. Did not realize that it was real until I got it home, took it apart and started looking into it. |

My Winchester gallery pump my father gave me for my eighth birthday.
It was very used when I received it. I think it cost about $34.00. My Winchester pump only shoots .22 short ammo, and I still take it to the shooting range about once a year to put a few rounds through it. Great times, great memories. Thanks dad!

I don't have anything that would be impossible to replace, but I do have a few that cost so much more now compared to when I bought them that I don't think I could bring myself to pull the trigger nowadays.
ETA: after reading some more of the thread and thinking about it, the two transferrable Chinese underfolder AKs I had Mario at Piece of History Firearms turn into an AK-105 and AK74M would probably be tough to do again. I scrounged forums and GB for over two years to get as many Russian, or at least COMBLOC, parts for the builds. With sanctions I'm not sure you could get it done unless you had a dude in Russia willing to ship parts that "fell off a truck" or bought a few complete Russian rifles from folks in the States to cannibalize for parts. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Deerhurst: Either my 1915 model Stevens Favorite or my Marlin Model 50. 5000 model 50s were made in the early 30s. I'd guess a few hundred still exist. My favorite is the most sentimental. I have a couple of those. The 22LR was my grand dads on my moms side of the family. The 25 rimfire was my great grand dads on my dads side. Some point in time the sight was lost or broke off the 25, he replaced it with a Mercury dime.

Alan Harton full-custom .44 Spl. conversion of a Ruger old model .357 revolver based around Elmer Keith's #5 grip frame. Elephant ivory grips. Case colored by Doug Turnbull. Harton's hexagon (Octagon?) barrel. #5 base pin lock. An absolutely gorgeous revolver that shoots as good as it looks. It took almost 2-years to complete and Alan only works on Colt revolvers now. It may be irreplaceable.
