What is your "Pride and Joy" firearm?

[Correctthought]

This is my baby. I pick her up in 1989 shortly after Purdy pulled his BS in Stockton prior to the ban. It is a Springfield Armory M1A from what Lee Emerson refers to as “The Golden Age of Springfield Armory”, back in the day of plentiful GI spec parts.



Jordan, that's a sweet old war horse.

Beautiful, if I ever get out of my unemployed state, I'm going to try to get a build around USGI parts set before they dry up for good.

Love the M14's.....here is my pride and joy, Smith Ent receiver, GI parts complete with the oh so fun selector switch Paid $1175 for it back in 1989.

Some footage of it in this video.

An FN Mk III Hi-Power that is fitted with a Cylinder & Slide hammer (no more biting) and a set of thing Navidex grips. It's the most comfortable gun that I've ever shot.

...is probably my Detonics Combat Master. I restored this gun from the ground up and it is truly a one of a kind custom. It was in very rough condition when I started but I resurfaced all the metal, polished all the internals, custom engraved the slide, etc.



Now if we are talking which gun in our collection is our highest end gun I would have to say it is my Sig P220 Carry Elite Stainless.

That detonics turned out awesome. I remember the pics you posted when you first got it that showed all the problems with the finish. Great job!

My HK USP Match clone.



I'd like to have a real one but I've never seen a 9mm SS Match for sale, ever.

I guess I don't really have a "pride and joy". By my XD45 Tactical never leaves my side and I really love my bullpup Mossberg 590

winchester mod 70 in 25-06

Mine is an old Savage model 23D .22 Hornet. It is a simple bolt action rifle that shoots like a dream.

My grandfather gave it to my father when he was 8 years old. He gave it to me when I was a teenager. I may pass it on to one of my sons, if any of them ever pull their head out of their butt.

This is probably my favorite. A Heym SR20 in 375 H&H.

Gotta say my Speed Six has never let me down...dependable, carries nice, and is just plain good lookin'!!!

 

[Zombie-hunter1]

No doubt. My Kimber Custom Classic I! I've done a lot of custom work on it. Most Kimbers come with most of the stuff I added to it now-a-days, but It's the pistol that most reflects me. ( 2LB. trigger pull, STI fiber optic adjustable competition sights, checkered grip front and back, beaver-tail, stiffling on trigger gaurd, carbon Kimber grips etc.) I love your Colt tho. Love guns with history!

I would have to say my Colt Kodiak 6.5 in 44 mag. It can never go byebye

 

[glockguy]

All matching numbers.

My dad's (R.I.P.) 44 Auto Mag. He bought it brand new in 1971. He paid $425 for it (I have the orig. receipt). There were 2 in the gun store with consecutive serial numbers. He had them side-by-side and the guy behind the counter was ringing both of them up. My mom walked in and had a "little conniption" that he was going to buy both. He ended up putting one back and walked away with this one. It is a North Hollywood, CA.

When he passed away I purchased the other in his honor..... It is a Desert Eagle .50 AE.

If I had to choose one... It would have to be my original, 45-70, 1878 Sharps Saddle Ring Carbine. It was pased down from my grandfather and it will go to one of my boys.

Tied between my Winchester Model 52 .22LR and my S&W Model 627PC 2.65" barrel....

Mine is a 6.5X55 Swede Mauser. My dad bought the rifle from Montgomery Wards back around 1960. He then had the barrel turned, bolt curved, sights eliminated and taped for a scope. He then paid too much money to have a custom stock made for the rifle. Nice little shooter and pleasant to look at!
