What is on your gun bucket list ?
Re: What is on your gun bucket list ?
Scratch one off my list, US Springfield Model 1898 Krag as I got one and this one is off the list, the Match Target Woodsman as I've got three target 22 pistols and I pretty much need a Ultra Dot to compete and I will not Drill and Tap one of these.
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Nice, a Krag is a good one to scratch off.

Re: What is on your gun bucket list ?
Most you have there are $300 and under. Very attainable. I would try for the M39 first while they are semi cheap.

Re: What is on your gun bucket list ?
With my budget I got to find under $300 whenever possible, and I only know one place with M39's and they are much more? After the new M1 Garand gets here, I will have to recover from spending that much on one rifle.....
Re: What is on your gun bucket list ?
If youare concerned about spending that much, the M1 is the rifle toget.

Let me make a short, open, blanket comment. There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a descent person is no threat to anyone--- except bad people. -- Charleton Heston
Guns are not good, they are not evil. Save those descriptions for the people holding the firearm. -- Unknown
1943 Izhevsk
1937 Izhevsk
1935/48/50 Tula (hex)
1939 Tula (laminate stock)
And many other firearms

High on my list is adding an original WWII era 1911 preferably a Remington Rand like my grandfather was issued, though getting one is the same as a house payment.

Got 100 pieces of brand new Brass for it and my reloading buddy has dies, so we will be 'cooking' up some loads, probably using a cast bullet
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

Re: What is on your gun bucket list ?
I just added another '93 Turk the other day, looks typical of the breed, but has the tightest headspace I have ever seen on a Mauser, so tight I got out the Go gauge to check that also. The headspace is actually perfect, and with a mismatched bolt, the bore is pretty good also so it should be a good shooter, even the crown is tight.
