Steyr AUG, Colt 9mm SMG, guns with finned barrels like the Thompson or RPK and water cooled LMGs like the 1917 or Vickers.

Quote HistoryQuoted: In a way I got better cooler guns than I could have ever imagined as say a 15 yr old Back then I just wanted a AR15 with a red dot and a flashlight Me too, but this one still holds a special spot in my heart. My first rifle was a Marlin 881 bolt action. I loved that gun & was happy to have it, but deep down I always wanted a semi-auto. Specifically I wanted the exact one I have now. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ruger Bearcat, H & R 949. Have them now, paid a lot more than if I bought when I was a kid. A 949 was my first personally owned handgun. Saved up 75 beans back in '79 and hauled my Mom to the local Western Auto to do the paperwork. I had just finished 8th grade. I'd like to have a buck for every round of K-Mart bulk pack .22s that I put through that thing. |

Other grail gun from childhood would be a fancy double rifle in 470 NE or 505 Gibbs I only read a few of his books, but I recall back in the late 70's (I was probably 14 or so) that a local guy had a red pickup with Mack Bolan and his Automag airbrushed on both sides. I did not know that he use a 93R. If you ever get a chance to shoot one, do it! Mine was a post 86 DS, NIB from Beretta. I'm glad we had a friendly COP that signed a letter for it (and signed a letter for a post '86 M60). |

Hoo boy.
Well, lately I've sold a lot of my surplus/duplicate tactical stuff, and have been able to get a lot of my grail stuff. This was definitely one, a Marlin 39a:  This was a grail rifle, a Sako 85 Bavarian in .308, with a nice piece of German glass; this one is a Mannlicher with a Steiner 2-10x42 that I got recently after selling many, many things:  This was also one, a CZ 527 FS in .223, wearing a Trijicon Accupoint 1-4 with a German #4:  And the similarly setup CZ 452 FS .22 lr, wearing a Trijicon Credo HX 1-4 with green illumination:  Another childhood want, was a folding stock SS Mini 14; thanks to Samson, it was possible (with some other mods, of course):  I always thought the Tavor SAR was the bees knees, had one since they came out in FDE:  A Garand; this one was recently rechambered in .308 and restocked/refinished:  A 590A1 with a bayonet; here's my take on the "retrograde" series (aka pieced together by me):  A .357/9mm flattop convertible blackhawk in SS with a barrel flush with the ejector rod:  A 92FS (converted to a G), because 80s action movies:  A 5" schofield in .38, because it's cool as hell:  I've been on a kick of "buying shit I've always wanted, who cares if it's "the best"" lately. |

ZM LR-300 here... I had a chance to buy one a few years ago and I didn't. Still regret it. I check weekly on gunbroker for them.
Spas 12, which I have owned. Sold it, due to it being a total let down. I wish I still had it just for the increased value. But other than that, garbage. Vektor CP-1 pistol also. |

I had a thing for subguns. It was the 80s after all.
Really wanted a Steyr TMP, a Micro Uzi, and a P-90. Never thought I'd actually own any of them or that they would even be available. When DSA started importing the TP-9 I picked one up immediately and SBRd it. It's pretty cool. I need to also get a PS-90. It's one of those guns I always am on the verge of getting but never quite do. Same with the UZI. |

The 3 main guns I wanted as a child -
1. Mini-14 Folder - Planning to get a new stainless model next year and put it in a Samson stock. A reasonable way to scratch that itch. 2. Bren Ten - F@&k you VLTOR for teasing me like that. I'll never buy a real one. Too expensive and I would be worried about shooting it. 3. Valmet M-76 Folder - Have come close to buying one at a gun show a couple times. But I couldn't justify the cost. Supposedly PSA might make one, and if they actually do, I'll be all over it. |

I desperately wanted a Colt M4. My dad thought short barrels were stupid and forced my noodle arms to lug around a 20" hbar. He told me if I wanted one bad enough I could buy one when I got older with my own money.
I now have 3. With a grenade launcher to boot. |

Always loved the M14 aesthetically. Finally got a standard M1a in walnut back when I was like 25. Love that gun. Definitely a battle rifle and not a precision weapon. But that’s all I expect from it. Killed plenty of deer and hogs with it no problem. Her name is Bertha

Quoted: For me it was a stainless 10-22 with a Butler Creek folding stock. Eventually I found a used rifle in great shape & got it set up just how I wanted when I was a kid. Shooting this thing still brings a smile to my face as I flashback to 80s nostalgia & simpler times. Now I’m just fighting off the urge to SBR it. I have a Butler Creek folding stock. I eventually retuned to the original stock. I should put the folding stock on eBay. I also had a RamLine folding stock that I put on eBay during the 10-year Clinton ban. I made a killing off that one. |

I was obsessed with all things UZI as a child after getting to shoot one at Tampa area gun shop that had full auto rentals. My dad was sorry that he ever took me in there. He never would buy me one and I was forced to settle for Match Grade M1As and Garands. Poor me! When I was in my thirties I found this one in a shop second hand for a reasonable price. The gun below is chambered in .45 but I bought a 9mm conversion kit for it. I never came across a Mini or a UZI pistol.

Thompson.
Never really considered a purchase (cheap bastard that I am). At one point several years back I was helping a local CT dealer work some Va gun shows. This dealer hung out with a couple of big class three Va dealers. More than several times I hung with these guys on a farm and a couple rounds on their skeet field usually turned into blasting with a Thompson. Best kind of Thompson blasting is with a generous owner who got a kick out of other folks having a good time shooting his guns and his ammo! He had a raised deck overlooking a medium farm pond , 45acp goodness tracking across a pond was a big pile of fun. Yes I realize shooting into and across water creates ricochet issues but as you crossed this pond it was nothing but a thousand yards of farm fields owned by this guy so it was all fun |
