Name your "forever" gun(s)?

[Loco]

Ok, I'm assuming a few of us have more than one firearm in our collections.

If SHTF tomorrow, and you had the opportunity to sell EVERY gun you owned for 5-10x what you'd paid, what's the one gun/rifle you'd never part with.

It can be more than one you wouldn't "want" to part with, but what's the ONE you'd scratch and claw over before letting go?

I'm leaning towards my Colt Target Match Competition Semi auto AR-15. Dad bought it for me decades ago, and I wouldn't dream of selling it.

I'd probably wanna keep my STi 1911, too, since I cannot pocket the AR, but if forced to pick, the STi would go in the fireplace before I'd let the Colt go...

Sell guns?

Isn't the only reason to sell guns is to buy better guns?

I'd keep my mac

So, you'd keep your HiPoint or KelTec if you could fetch $1500+ each for them?

Suffice it to say, I would sell EVERY gun but a scant few at 10x my cost. I'd buy some nice beer to forget...

If the shtf why would I care about money?

Money would hold no value and there would be nothing to buy with it

I would prefer to build my army and start building my own Thunder-dome where gasoline and violence are all that matter

My 1903 Springfield my dad gave me for Father’s Day and my semi Uzi my wife gave me for Christmas. Neither are ever going anywhere. As far as guns that aren’t sentimental, I’d have a hard time ever selling my Robinson M96 Recon.

I have a Mauser broomhandle and a Artillery Luger, they go after I'm in the ground.

RAM NIB: I mean, if there's a panic run on guns, similar to post Sandy Hook. Not a civil war, etc. type event.

I sold 800 rds of crap 5.56 in 2013 for $1000 at my LGS, and it was listed at $500 on my sign. There was literally a bidding war.

Just to play devil's advocate, though, if America becomes the place the average vape-pen-puffing-bernie-sanders-voting-oppress-law-abiders leftists want it to become, I have few reservations about selling my collection for dollars on the penny, and using said windfall to relocate somewhere VERY tropical...

My father was the property master for one of the Police Academy movies and he gave me Tackleberry’s 44 magnum from the movie and it’s real gun, not a prop gun.

It’ll be passed down to my boys, among other guns that are family heirlooms.

 

[Hey...]

Never for sale

My daily carry is it. Colt Combat Stallion. Real ivory grips.

350 made in 1988. First officers sized pistol to get an alloy frame. Bought it from the original owner who was a Dallas County (Texas) judge for over 20 years and he kept this under his robe all those years. If this gun could talk...

The grain on these grips are some of the best I’ve seen. They’re from a wooly mammoth cut from the inner tusk. Nice mellow color.

Kinda neat the roll marks are on both sides.

My great grandfather's Fox Sterlingworth 20ga. My grandfather shoveled a literal mountain of coal over a summer to earn it, then it was handed down to my Father, and was my first gun as well. Would not trade it for water in the desert.

THAT is awesome! He was my favorite character.

You made me remember Grandpa's Rem 700. I'd probably throw a few punches before giving that one up, too.

No matter what scenario it is, my PM-63 will be with me. Loved the things when I first saw them as a kid, and still my #1 favorite gun today. I think they're great to shoot and very handy, regardless of what others might tell you.

I was lucky enough to find one for sale, and even more lucky I just had enough money to afford it. I know if I were to sell it for some reason I would more than likely never find one again. That being said, I'll never get rid of it, not even when I'm dead, it's coming with me to the grave.... viking style

Selling guns? I can't, I don't have any guns. Did I not tell you about this horrible boating accident I had, on this very deep lake, just recently? ;-) Everything is on the bottom of this lake now.

[Battering ram NIB]

only gun I wouldn't sell is my Ar15 Ruger Sr556

I can do as well with it as close range as any of my subguns and can beat anything I own as a distance with it.

I blinked and missed the sandyhook sell off...I have a friend who sold his AR at the time for double...I didn't even know at the time prices had gone up

The cool thing is my dad got the gun for free. He sent the manufacturer the Police Academy movie script and a letter stating what he was looking for and they mailed him the gun for fee.

That's a beautiful gun; a keeper for sure!

I have a few: Paternal Great-Grandfather's Single Shot 12ga, Paternal Grandfather's Single Shot 20ga and H&R 929 22LR, RG63 .38 SPL given to me by my best (non-related) Friend, 1927a1 "Tommy Gun" my wife and children gave me for 5th year anniversary of my last cancer Surgery, and the M4 my Son&I built together (it has my name and USN on the right side of the Magwell, and "Duty, Honor, Contry" surrounding the Naval Special Warfare Insignia on the Left side.

I'm in very poor physical condition, my wife, children, and grandchildren know I love them, and grandchildren are now old enough to remember "Pawpaw"; I'd rather they all remember me as a man who refused to bow down to tyranny.

This is all HYPOTHETICAL, I have no reason to do stupid sh!t.
