I'm pretty happy with the collection as it stands...any pickups in 2013 will be crimes of opportunity-i.e. things I see and just cannot resist.
The only things I really want, are a Marlin 795, and a Suomi. 8-)

must have one hell of a collection if all you have to add is a 795 and then you can take Finland :P

Me too!

Safes are bulging and I'm pretty well set in the evil black rifle and accessories department so new additions will be anything old and cool- 1911s, S&W K frames, tube-fed Remington .22s, old 870s, old 700 BDLs, or whatever catches my fancy. Or is such a good deal I can't pass it up :mrgreen: .

Bryan I picked up a Springfield Pro recently and you are welcome to shoot it, if you want to.

I'm waiting for this...Mike Reilly PLEASE call me the second that it comes in! Guncrafter Industries Stainless CCO.
He might ship it tomorrow, but likely Thursday.

People have some good taste - I'm pushing hard for more M1A1 and Socoms...

I am a 1911 guy and I for the life of me do not get the attraction of an sr1911 - Someone please explain?

I'm hoping to find a good deal on a nice Gen 2 G19 and maybe build an SBR if the panic ever dies down.

They are very reasonably priced for the features. I've shot mine about three times and it shoots well.
Isn't as tight, so not as picky as more expensive 1911's out of the box. I think some of the attraction was the timing as well.
An American made 1911 for the 100 year anniversary for under $700. What's not to like?! :D

I've been haunted recently by the thought of picking up a belt-fed upper for my MG. Sort of a poor-mans M249:

I'm not certain yet if it's a good idea or if I've just lost my mind....

Would like to get a Walther PPQ in .40, but that is contingent upon selling two of my guns.

I'm in the market for a Remingnton 700 SPS in .308, and another Ruger 10/22 that I want to put in a Archangel Nomad stock.

Sako TRG 338 Lapua
CZ75 Tactical Sport in 40 short and wimpy
Ruger Red Label 12g 26"bbl
Ruger Red Label 28g 28"bbl

Pretty good on my collection as a whole, but those are the top of my want list. Other than that, any real good deal that comes along I might enjoy for a spell.

Bryan a fellow by the name of Dave at DRC Firearms might be able to help you with a Pro.
It's my understanding that the current wait is about 18months.

The GCI that I'm expecting this week, is it for this year for me! :mrgreen:
