Doesn't have to be the most expensive or rarest but the one you probably would never run across again in your life without some serious dedicated searching for that specific make or model. May also be because of condition.

3rd series colt detective special and ruger single six convertible because they came from my deceased father.
|
|
|
|
Winchester 42 with full choke in very good condition.
For sentimental value, the Ruger GP100 my men gave me when I retired, to replace the duty weapon I turned in. They even took my Hogue grips off the duty revolver and installed them on the new one. Dang good men I served with. |
|
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. |

FN fs2000
Production is discontinued. On the occasion one is up for sale on gunbroker, the asking price is about double what I paid 15 years ago. My salty weapons are grandfathered where I am located behind enemy lines in a ban state, however I cannot legally replace these things here in the event of fire or theft. |
|
Ruger Standard, Red Eagle Pistol. Type VIII (the one they made a bunch of, for that model). 1951 date. Nice. I see how Bill got rich doing this.
Or a 1960s vintage sidearm Anshutz air rifle. Which I need to get repaired. Everything else is rather ordinary but functional. The Xesse and the RIA Match get better and better. Starting to keep half of the Xesse's in the 10s and 1/3 of those in the Xs. Work in progress. Bullseye is hard. |

HKSR9TC
very hard to find any on the market You can find a clone but not a stamped receiver original from H&K |
|
My grandpa's Stevens model 58 twelve gauge. Or my Sig 551A1 I've had since 2012 the summer before Sandy Hook..
|
|
H&K P7 PSP
Grandpa's pre-WWII Savage pump 22 with octagon barrel |
|
My grandpa's Arisaka. He only brought one back from the war so I can't really replace it.
|
|
A rare, but unfortunately not valuable, unmolested and minty M1922 1923 dated Springfield. ( Not an M1 or M2.) Only 2020 ish were made and some of those were modified.to M1 AND M2.
|
|
My grandpa’s Oklahoma Highway Patrol marked S&W 64 in 357 Magnum.
|
|
OG SPR upper, or the SAM-R upper.
Not necessarily impossible to replace but very unlikely due to current prices. |
|
Nothing I have is particularly hard to find. I guess it might be the Western Field branded Mossberg 500, just because it might be kind of hard to dig one up (although not a case of rare = valuable).
|
|
Oh man I have a bunch of guns that would be nearly impossible for me to replace. They simply cost too much now because they are pretty rare.
|
|
|
|
My transferable MGs
No way in hell would I pay todays prices for them. Also the 1942 Remington Rand I sold. Paid 400 in 1996 all matching I sold 2004 for 900 |
|
Now that my state went full AWB almost all my guns would be difficult to replace
|
|
The very first box-magazine Garand conversion (not a BM59) with M14 parts that I made in the 1980's... |
|
Techno Arms MAG-7.
There's only somewhere between 50 and 300 in the country. |
|
Savage 110L in 270 Win. Got my first deer and passed it down to my son. Who also got his first deer. Everything else is easily replaceable.
|
|
My 1954 Marlin 39a.
Gave $180 bucks for it at gun show a million years ago. |
|
Arisaka T.99 that my grandfather brought back from WWII.
Wouldn't be hard to replace; would be impossible. |
|
Same one that was hardest to get the first time.
Springfield 1941A1 with repro scope. Not that hard but I'm lazy and go OTS as much as possible. |
|
F2000 Tactical (select-fire)
Or my Walther K43 (just due to its pristine condition) Could be either one. Not sure really. I paid way less for the F2000 though Attached File Attached File |
|
They still selling those Marin Crops colts that are all scratched up?
|
|
Chrome 1926 Colt 1903.
Weren’t a lot made, so pickings are slim. |
|
Marlin Ballard Pacific model in 40-85 built in 1889-1890. Curved receiver and pistol grip stock is extremely rare. One of four or five known at this time and the only one of those with a half round / half octagon barrel. Attached File

It would not be hard to replace my grandfathered pistols it would be impossible under current law.
|
|
I don’t imagine I have any that are real hard to replace in some form. The challenge would be for the price I paid.
P7 I’ll just pay out the nose. Colt ANVIII might take a minute to find. Actually, I built three rifles that would be difficult to replace. I have a slab side Yugo M70 underfolder with original barrel. I could get something close, but not exactly. And the Israeli FAL would be challenging, since kits are gone. The Romy AK would be pretty easy though. But none are collector pieces. |

I don't have anything particularly rare. Some expensive stuff that I would be hard pressed to replace. But nothing all that rare.

Browning take down 22lr my grandfather taught me to shoot on. First firearm I shot. He won it in a sales competition back when he worked for sears as a salesman. Truly a man among men. He’s been dead for 3 years. Miss him.

RV85. In total, there were less than 3k made according to the internet. Even assuming that all were imported into the US, supply is very limited.
