Fun afternoon, the box is to catch the 250,000 spent cases we had to fire that day.

On my list is a milsurp Swede Mauser and an FN FAL.

One of the issues I find with buying more firearms is that by the time you get spare magazines, accessories, optics, holsters, reloading dies, etc. etc. to run said firearm or use it in competition, the cost of that stuff will be as much as the original purchase of the firearm, if not more than.

Eventually though I would like a whole rack of WW1 and WW2 milsurps.

Old thread I was reading, seems my wish list has changed since I last posted on here.
Definitely like a lever in a pistol cartridge.
May just come to fruition too, submitted a PTA today. :-)

The 686 was possibly the most common revolver in IPSC when I was doing it, must be heaps of them around still.
I prefer the original model 19 or 27 myself.

I stopped with the Ruger Americans in
204, .223, .243, and 7mm-08. I would still like a few others, but nothing urgently.

Got the RPR .22LR, and love it.
Didn't get the Puma Trappers, but did get the 24" Rossi 92 in .357 Magnum (thanks to a member here!), to go with the Marlin 94 in .44Mag.

.45-70 Sharps is still on the list, and if an RN50 popped I'd still be interested.

I got two M1904 Portuguese Mausers, the M1903-A3, Kar98k, and 6.5mm Type 38 Arisaka. Came very close to the P17 and K31, but decided against both. But I found some others along the way I hadn't realised I wanted, including the M94/14 Swede (again thanks to a member here), M94 Winchester .30-30, and the M39 Finn Mosin.

I have a decent collection across a variety of chamberings and styles so I'm unlikely to ever get bored. But I'd still like to find a .22LR Martini Cadet.

Of the the 4 shootin irons that I started dreaming on at the beginning of this thread there’s only the Smith carbine (US civil war breach loading percussion job that uses a rubber cartridge) that I haven’t yet added to the safe and they’re hard to find.
There's still a few of Wile. E Coyote's ideas that I haven't tried yet.
