If you could bring back 1 gun. - The Firearms Forum

If you could bring back 1 gun what would it be and why?

I think I would have Ruger bring back the 44 mag Auto that the 10/22 is based on. That would be a great Deer rifle for where I hunt.

gatling ( crank variety )

cause its soo cool ..

and you can make all you need to feed it ..

cycloneman · 11-22-2011, 07:10 PM

HK91

Dependable

Accurate

will not let you down.

24" of bbl would be nice

I would bring back old savage actions. I dont care for the 2 handed, hold your tongue just right, kung-fu required to remove the bolt.

weaponofffreedom · 11-22-2011, 07:21 PM

Real AK-47 \ 74, full auto, for the price of a few chickens.

jack404 · 11-22-2011, 07:28 PM

Abdul, i sell you my number 3 wife for good AK ok ?

Water-cooled Browning 1917/19/21A1-why-I bought it in 73 for $300.00 with a BUNCH of spares and she just chugged along....

cycloneman · 11-22-2011, 09:05 PM

I sure would like to see the S&W 1026, 645's come back. I have no clue why they stopped making them.

okiefired · 11-22-2011, 09:14 PM

Python.

HunterAlpha1 · 11-22-2011, 09:23 PM

Winchester Model 1894, the good 'ol deer rifle.

dons2346 · 11-22-2011, 09:33 PM

US Repeating Arms still manufactures and sells the 94 but it is made in Japan and is pretty expensive.

Old Grump · 11-23-2011, 12:41 AM

Model 71. Not the expensive repro but the original for the original price and a variety of ammo instead of just the 200 gr stuff I have now.

On the other hand maybe my old body couldn't take the shock anymore so make that a body about 30 years younger to go with the gun. Make that 40 years younger.

ms6852 · 11-23-2011, 12:43 AM

Thompson submachine gun. Just a great caliber.

Inthewind1976 · 11-23-2011, 05:07 AM

The Winchester Model 88.

Enzo_Guy · 11-23-2011, 07:12 AM

Colt Police Positive, such a nice revolver.

alex.cirabisi · 11-23-2011, 07:16 AM

any guns from 1988-1915 that were made in the US. I love cowboy styled guns and the like

Petergunn · 11-23-2011, 09:13 AM

Diamondback 4” .22LR at $500. new

savage170 · 11-23-2011, 12:26 PM

Savage 99

JLA · 11-23-2011, 04:20 PM

gcalloway · 11-23-2011, 04:28 PM

Yes, the Savage Model 99 chanbered with .300 savage. I have harvested many a deer with that gun with a 150 grain silvertip bullet. I still have the old gun guee i need to start reloading for it.

JLA · 11-23-2011, 04:51 PM

Thats just about the only way to get affordable ammo for em now.
