My Gun list, What next?

[SLIM86]

I have a finally decided to make a list and decided not to stray from it with impulse buys, my question is what next? Of the iconic guns I recently bought a 1911 and I own an AR-15 and a single action .357 mag as well as many other guns. But what I don't have is the following list that I see as a must have by any gun collector. I write this to peck at the infinite wisdom of this site, in the current situation we are in 70 years later from WWII should I grab up on of these firearms vs the other?

M1 Garand
M1 Carbine
Thompson (either version, preferably both)
AK-47
.44 mag revolver
Lever Action Rifle (.357mag .44mag)
Saiga 12 Guage

Your thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated

M1 carbines are getting ready to be released again at CMP. That would be my first, then the M1. Those would be my 1st two choices. Overall good list. I would be really choosy about the 44 mag. Ruger made my hands hurt shooting them, SW did not.

I would get the M1 Garand, they will continue to be more and more expensive as time rolls on.
I personally never really got into the M1 Carbine, shot a few, they are fun to shoot, and there is at least one member on here that uses his as a home defense weapon.

Yea I keep hearing and reading the CMP may dry up soon. I'm a big history guy so I want to get the WWII pieces first if possiable.

I have shot the Ruger 44 and it didn't hurt too bad but I've heard the S & W is solid too

I just recently checked the Garand off my list. I sent an order in Friday to the CMP to get in line for one of the carbines. I've got my fingers crossed, that will soon be off my list as well.

Get the CMP Garand. I know I'm getting one this summer if all goes well.

Good luck! Let us know how that works out for you! I also wasn't going to buy any firearms this year and focus on ammo and training.... 2 have already followed me home....

Along with everybody else, get the milsurps first. They will never be cheaper than they are right now.

Yea it will be tough I bought 2 impulse guns last month so we will
See what happens. OK thanks for the input guys

The list in that order looks pretty good I would say

 

[gotguns]

I agree with dnc59. That looks like a good list. If you're a history guy you could add an M1903 and an M1917. I always thought those were pretty cool too.

I'm still looking for the right deal on a Chinese Mauser or a Norwegian Krag-Jorgenson.
