    I recently acquired one of my holy grail guns, a JM stamped 1895 Cowboy. But I still want a 45-70 Rolling Block and a Sharps 45-70.

    Something from Camp Perry or Ala., a pistol caliber carbine, and a ghost gun.

    I let my step daughter talk me out of my old Heritage Rough Rider in .22lr/.22mag. Now it was no great shakes of a pistol in .22lr. But 20 years after buying it I discovered that it was a tack driver in .22mag.

    And I'm missing it. Problem is I want adjustable sights for it. And Heritage appears to have discontinued their 2 models they made in .22mag with adjustable sights.

    I could go to Ruger NM single six. But I could buy 3 or 4 of the Heritage for the price of a Ruger.

    I also would not mind finding a Rolling Block in .22mag or .32sw long that will shoot close to MOA or minute of a squirrels ear.
    I truly believe we need to get back to basics.

    Get right with the Lord.
    Get back to the land.
    Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.


    May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
    and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
    praise glorious!

    Only one for me that stays consistent is the Mateba Autorevolver in 357 (preferably) or 44. Always been intrigued by the unique design and would love to have one in the safe.

    An original Winchester 52 sporter would also be up there in desire to put next to the reproduction sporter and my target Pre-A and D models.

    I want a 480 Ruger in a lever action. I have e-mailed Henry several times and they don't seem interested. Rossi has made a few but they are not in production in that caliber anymore. Maybe Ruger will be interested after they get Marlin up and running.

    There's a YouTuber with the handle .22 Plinkster who took a Ruger Charger and gave it the following mods: folding brace; Volquartzen 6" carbon fiber barrel and their competition bolt; reddot sight and last but not least a Franklin Armory binary trigger. This has captured my imagination.

    A 12 gauge side by side coach gun with rabbit ears, maybe a 9mm carbine but that is not at the top of the list, and possibly a lever action 44-40.

    Something that has never, as far as I can tell, ever made it to the Arkansas; a S&W 624 4".

    I have repeated said, I'll never buy another 44 mag.
    BUT, if I were to find one of the new Henry's with fast twist rifled barrel, I'd probably fork over the Benjamins.

    NONE... NONE AT ALL....
    That is my wife speaking. I mentioned the possibility of picking up another 40S&W due to the large amount of loads that I have for them and I was told... "NO MORE GUNS"....
    I asked, "Even for Elia?" Elia is our 5 year old granddaughter. I was informed that Elia does not need a handgun and NO I cannot keep it for her until she gets old enough...

    But... I'd love a Judge 45LC/.410
    And an SCCY 9mm
    And a Baby Desert Eagle in 40S&W.

    Maybe a Gatling Gun in 38 special, 44 special, 45 acp, 38-55 or 45-70
    Levergun in 327 fed. and a blackhawk or single seven in the same caliber
    S&W 29 44mag Silhouette model to replace the one that blew up!!!
    Ruger Hawkeye in 256 win mag to shoot, not collect.

    An English double rifle in a Nitro Express cartridge. It will never, ever happen. I have more than enough guns and probably will not buy anymore. Well, if Ruger comes out with a GP in 41 mag or special I will buy one.

    A Sharps and a vintage Winchester 1885 both in 38-55 win. Probably would settle on any Rolling block or Falling block rifle in 38-55 or 40-65

    I'd really like to get back some of the ones I've sold and traded off, first.

    The Stoeger Coach gun in 12ga I never shot, the Beretta Neos 6" .22 for plinking, and absolutely the Ruger M77 in 7.62x39 with the boat paddle stock.. my first JC Higgins model 20, the Mossberg that I thought could replace it.. this list could get long, without even looking forward.
