Not that he was a big gun guy, but he taught me well.

Dr Richard Gatling
Eugene Stoner

I've had the pleasure to have had a few shooting sessions with the great Tom Knapp. Five minutes with that guy and if you're not improved significantly, you aren't trying. He was an amazing teacher and even better human.

Outside of Tom, I'd like to pick the brains of the Elmer Keith/Jack O'Connor and such.

 

[Aero Denezol]

Carlos Hathcock.

 

[JRuby]

Paul Mauser
John Browning
Theodore Roosevelt

There are so many i would love to talk to.

 

[Spitpatch]

Tom Horn.

 

[PaulB47]

Definitely, Elmer Keith. John Browning. Jeff Cooper. And Mikhail Kalashnikov.

 

[Cardinal]

John Moses Browning. Pure genius and nobody even gets within sight of his accomplishments.
From lever action rifles to shotguns to semiautomatic pistols to machine guns. What we now take as categories of firearms (e.g., the semiautomatic shotgun) are things that he invented and that simply did not exist before he invented them. Completely revolutionary. A total genius who had more patents than any other and whose inventions live on over a hundred years later.

[The Heretic]

I would love to get the following together in a room and listen to them discuss firearms history, design and use:

Colonel Julian Hatcher
Edward Clinton Ezell
John Moses Browning
Colonel George Chinn

and maybe W.W. Greener

 

[arakboss]

Eugene Stoner, I like to know if he had any idea how well the AR rifle would be embraced by the public when he first designed his.

 

[teflon6string]

Harry Callahan

Don't forget LC Jeff Cooper. I would put Rob Leatham on there as well personally.

Walter Sobchak.



Or Harry Potter (Wondering why he replaced his wands with 1911's. Don't get me wrong, I think it was a good choice.)
