Two guns I could find, but ill pay twice as what I would have are a Ruger Red Label 12 gauge and the older Winchester 1300 NWTF with the laminated stock. Prices are stupid now, but I continue to check pawn shops and gun stores. if you find a much more common 1300 and send the barrel off too be cut and threaded and order a laminated stock from boyd's. if you can't find it you can often build it.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

By the time I have that sweet turkey scene engraved ill be way in the hole! maybe a comprimize , send it down to LA and get it Laser engraved by airporttrapper I guess it is about looks and function , I was thinking mostly function I paid as much for the 20 inch barrel for my 500 as I did for the gun years ago but it was about half the price of buying one new that way.

MP5. Always liked that gun.
Reason why I never bought one? Never had the $25,000 to spare on a good one. Can’t hunt with it, and there are other weapons that would be better for home defense.
Still, who wouldn’t want one? H&K MP5 is a fav of mine too. I've shot a fair amount of full-autos , but the MP5 is very controllable. More rounds on target.

Hk mark 23 is very accurate and nice to shoot. But $2,300 for a handgun is to rich for me. But it sure was smooth and easy to hit with. Of course suppressed is best.
But I bet the cz shadow in 9mm is probably as nice to shoot but much less expensive for the blue handled model around $1300. But that's not practical for me for a handgun that will be to big to carry except in winter.

As a boy, I dreamed of having a Gibbs company SMLE scout rifle, and a Browning HI Power. That dream is about to come true. My brother gave me a Bubba'd SMLE NO 4 a few years ago he'd gotten in a trade, I took it to a gunsmith in Florida the last time I was down there with instructions to cut the barrel down to 20 inches, fabricate a scout scope rail, and get a nice stock on it... it's waiting on me when i go on my next visit to Florida next year. Thinking about buying a Girsan copy of a HiPower to go with it, then I can be equipped for any adventure I dreamed of as a boy, only I'm 36 now.

Being a hardcore waterfowl hunter, I wanted an old Browning A-5 in 3” magnum with a 30” full choke barrel. I wanted to be able to hunt waterfowl with my Remington auto loader magnum with 30” full choke barrel, and a Winchester Model 12 heavy duck gun with a 30” full choke barrel, and the Browning. I had the first two and wanted the Browning.
Those guns look so good in waterfowl hunting photos with black labs. I became more intensely focused on the black labs and was completely happy with my Remingtons, and the Model 12 came out on special occasions. Being completely satisfied, I never looked for an A-5.
I am looking for a Ruger No. 1 in .45-70.
