I view and use them mostly as tools. I sold off a bunch of stuff when I consolidated calibers. I only kept guns I used, collecting stuff like I had over the years, just wasn’t enjoyable anymore.
The one oddball I kept that I couldn’t replace is an Enfield. It’s been through several generations of hunters in my family, it was Bubba’d at least 2 generations ago. I take it out once a year and put a box of rounds through it. Then I remember how brutal it is to actually shoot and put it back up for another year. |

Hmmm. I have a number that would be hard to replace:
Timberwolf Pump carbines in both .357 and .44 HK P7M13 Set of S&W 16.4 .32 mags in 4” 6”, and 8 3/8” Colt custom shop Super Commander Those just off the top of my head. I have a lot of kind of rare and odd stuff in the safe |

Excluding transferables, which I could replace with patience and money, the hardest to actually replace would be a pre-94 Chinese Norinco folder with perfect red bakelite furniture.

Winchester 1400 Mark II in 20 gauge. It is still in bnib condition. My buddies dad bought in the 70s I believe, shot one round of skeet, and it sat in his safe for decades. I think you would be hard pressed to find one this nice, plus I only paid $300 for it.

I forgot to mention - unfired NIB U.S. Fire Arms SAA with custom grips. The company is gone and this was the best SAA - rivaling Colt - and made in the USA.
It was just too pretty to shoot it. |

Probably my factory KAC SR-15 just because the lower now costs what I paid for the rifle and I’d not be willing to pay that.
ETA my unfired Russian SGL-21 AK with real Russian furniture would probably be more difficult than the SR-15. |

 This Is the prototype of the Polytech legend national match with standard length barrel. I bought it out of the KFS collection via an ad in the shotgun news. The serial number is sequential with, and one digit higher than the serial number on the well-known prototype, legend national match, which you can find photographs of online. I remember the ad said “air gauged match barrel by Steyr”, but I don’t know if that means the barrel was manufactured by Steyr or if they just had a hand in the manufacturing process. There are no Steyr markings on it. |

We have one of the "salesman samples" (not a full auto dealer sample, just one of the ones used by salesman to promote the gun) Armalite AR-180.
25 of these were used for this, #0026 through 0050 were slotted for sales reps to use to promote the rifle with serial 0001 to 0025 being used as "gifts" to various big wigs in the AR-180 program (thanks to the late Mike Todd for his assistance on the history of these) Comes with the pre-production scope and rifle was purchased direct from the Armalite sales rep by my father in the late 60's when our retail store agreed to a significant order of 180's (not sure how many he got as those records have been long gone) Been in the family ever since Basically impossible to replace |

Probably these two. Both are S&W .38 New Departures 4th Models shipped in 1908, rare in 5” nickel, made rarer with factory ivory and MOP, made extremely rare with 99+% original finish. I doubt there is another pair like them on the planet.

The one I have that is so completely off the electronic and government information grid, no one could ever prove I actually own it. If the feds ever came around confiscating guns, they wouldn't ask or look for that one.
I could buy that gun again tomorrow, but it would be tagged like all the other ones. Being older, I used to have a lot of guns like that, but I sold them off, not realizing how that particular part of their value would increase in a future surveillance state. |

My Uzi.
It’s a pre-86 dealer sample and I’m no longer a SOT. I legally cannot replace it unless I paid way more and go transferable. Beyond that, some family guns can be replaced but not the connection. |

A Beretta 92 compact that used to belong to Jimmy Buffett, and a Colt Army Special with "Presented to Patrolman John Baradat, New Orleans Police Dept., May 12 1921" engraved on it. There's a few others that would be tough as well, like my Sig 230 in .32ACP with a safety as well as a decocker, or the Spencer 1863 carbine. You don't see those often.

The OHP special ordered them in a batch, it's marked 64-1 on the frame under the crane and the OHP shield on the R side with a spot for his badge #. There were 500 of the special marked ones as far as I can tell. The wood box has the Oklahoma seal carved in it to match. It is unfired other than three for test firing at the factory, you can barely see where three cartridges were every other charge hole. I also have his duty 28, that thing has been fired. I had Karl Sokol repair it and it's good to go now.

Well, the two that I own that come to mind are certainly not the most valuable, but would probably be very difficult to find another.
MK46 with an HK lower:  and a completely un-fired, un-issued Polish Radom M44 (they used to be easier to find 2 decades ago, but finding one in un-fired condition is difficult now):  |

Later I cheaped out and got a SIG 556 to turn into a 553ish clone.
