Do you have a "thing" for certain types of firearms?

 A lot of people collect different types of firearms.

I have a "thing" for AK type rifles. I'm trying to collect at least one from every country that ever built them.

What's your "thing"

Vintage battle rifles.  WWII and before.

Anything that looks evil.  There'll be plenty of time to collect Fudd guns when I'm retired, for now I want to get all the evil black guns I can get my hands on!

+1.  Love my AR's!

The sleek looks of revolvers are pretty sexy too.  I want to get a pre-lock S&W 686 and one of those 10-shot S&W .22 revolvers...

I love the look of the M1911 or M1911A1 (not the regular "1911's" you see).  Specifically, no guide rod, no extended safety, no ambidextrous safety, no beavertail grip safety, no bobbed hammer...

My wallet can't support the guns I have a "thing" for :(

SBRs and certain bullpups.

I would love a SBR krink w/ nice wood handguards and a metal triangular folding stock...

Used to be H&K roller lock rifles.

Now it'd be SBR, suppressors and full auto capability.

thats me.  no, i've never done a trigger job on mine, i rather like the stock trigger and am definitely not a good enough shooter to take advantage of a better trigger.  i may in the future, just to see, but for now, i dont plan on doing anything but optics and maybe the extended safety lever.


you should ask the guy for one sample, haha.
