Your idea of a good collection?

[psango]

What makes a good collection? Aside from those who collect specific brands or types of firearms what do you like to see in a general collection? For me it would be:

1. Ruger Mark pistol .22.
2. Revolve 1 ea. From Ruger, Smith, Colt.
3. At least 1 snub-nose revolver.
4. A mouse gun of some type, like a Seecamp.
5. Several wonder nines like such as Sig. p226 or Beretta 92FS
6. A Glock.
7. A large caliber revolver .44 or 45LC.
8. .40 and 10mm autos from Beretta, Smith, Glock, other major manufactures.
9. 1911 or two.
10. Single Action revolver.
11. Derringer.
12. 45 ACP one or two.
13. Bolt-action rifle.
14. Lever-action rifle.
15. Semi-Auto rifle.
16. AR or AK prefer both.
17. Pump-action shotgun 12ga.
18. World War II rifle, M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, K98 etc.
19. Handguns in: .22, 32, .380, .38, .357, 9mm. .40, 10mm, 44. 45ACP. (if possible: .22mag, .327-32 H&R, .38 Super, 41mag. 45LC)
20. Long Guns, .22, .270, 5.56, .30-06, 308, .30 carbine, one in hand-gun caliber ie: 357 or 44., 410g., 12g.

I guess the list could go on forever.

That list seems pretty good but for myself 14 seems like a lot of lever rifles.

Also, 11 derringers seems like a niche collection but all in all you've got a good start.

[TNP'R]

I think the ideal collection has a good mix of C&R, modern semi auto and bolt action rifles. The size of the collection shouldn't matter because one mans collection wont be the same size as the other persons. As long as you are happy with your fire arms then thats all that matters.

I sure we can find members here that can exceed those total with no problem.

[PsychGuy274]

A 'good collection' is every firearm on the planet that you have an interest in.

If you like .22 pistols, then buy every .22 on the planet.

If you like 50 bmg's, buy every 50 bmg on the planet.

Etc.

[lineman66]

With that list o' guns you should include a reloading rig for all those different caliber ammo that you'll need to have

Is glock considered a wonder nine?

[RenegadeRebel]

I think that collection is seriously lacking in modern rifles and shotguns. There is no saiga 12 for instance, and there is no 375 cheytec...Many more you missed too...

A collection of the very few.

Even if you have the money.......there are none of these for sale or are very hard to find.

A python 22 mag or a Rem 600 in 223 come to mind

I want the one that you have never seen and will never see again.

[calwoodbutcher]

I do not believe you have enough shotguns listed. You are also going to need a buttload of ammo for all of the different calibers. Very nice list. I hope you have a really good job.$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

[glock_this]

1 full size AR
1 SBR (or AR Pistol)
1 polymer semi-auto pistol (in 40cal if I picked 1 caliber)
1 12g shotgun tactical setup

Nice collection, although I think I have 1 more snake than you do.

[psango]

need to start reloading, yes

Yes reloading would be a good idea. I need to get started with that, meanwhile I try to keep a representative supply on hand.

[pacifico23]

A shotgun
A .22
2 handguns one a 1911 and another of your choice
A ar/ak type
A bigger caliber bolt action or M1A
