What is your most unusual or rare guns?

[SPOOK331945]

I'm naturally a collector for weird firearms. I don't think I have any really rare stuff, they might be so I'll include them. Please post pictures and share your weird and rare!!! Heck, include the ugliest firearms too!

I'll start out with some rare, well what doesn't readily show up on gunbroker anyways.

This first one I call the Mandalorian. It's a Glock 34, well kinda. Only about 5% of its total components are plastic. The frame itself is a CCF frame. Some years back CCF made stainless, aluminum and titatium frames for Glock. They have since closed their doors. Every now and then one of the old frames will pop up on gunbroker.

next for rare is my Glock 17T (blue) and 17R (red). The 17T are somewhat common but the 17Rs are a little harder to come by.

Next is the Hudson H9. They're not extremely rare, but not common either. Even though it turned out to be a big flop it does shoot rather well. Picked it up right as the company went under, for the price I couldn't pass it up.

to start my unusual guns is the Ideal Conceal "cell phone" gun. While not super practical for carrying, I believe it has a lot of potential. Shooting/operating is actually quite pleasing for what it is. Very easily hides in plain sight. little side to side with the lifecard. Lifecard is a neat little gun too, but the overall operation of deploying, loading, and firing are horrible.

Next oddball is the Freedom Ordnance FM9. As far as I know, it is the only belt fed 9mm. It's a lot of fun to dump a few boxes of ammo. And yes it is a legal SBR..

For weird and ugly is the Altor 9mm... I don't have much to say other than it looks like a hot glue gun and is miserable to shoot. But kudos to the designer for designing an inexpensive working firearm with minimal components.

And for the downright ugliest gun in my entire collection at a whopping 45 dollars. Haskell JS-45.. Pure beauty. From my understanding, they were the precursors to the hipoints. Trust me, its as heavy as it looks

The Haskel is fugly as all get out....The others are interesting, I like the life card, and the Altor, just for the concealability......

The closest I have is a 1965 and 66 Ruger 10-22. Completely original. I also have a 22 revolver manufactured in Washington D.C. I keep it because of D.C. being so antigun.

I have two rare revolvers which are not particularly valuable but historically interesting.
The first is a Moore .32 rimfire belt revolver which was an infringement on the S&W patent for the bored through cylinder. The second is a Moore teat fire revolver which was his answer to being sued by S&W and having to cease making the bored through cylinder revolvers.

My better half might tell you the rarest gun in my collection is the one I actually sell after saying I am going to sell.

This first one I call the Mandalorian. It's a Glock 34, well kinda.

That's fascinating. It looks either really nice or really awful, I can't decide which.

Anyway my rarest thing is a Singapore police contract Webley Mk IV. I keep waffling on selling it or trading for something practical.

I put these on another thread here for lever actions. But for this "rarest" thread. I post them again. The top one is a Marlin 39A Octagon only made in 1973, only roughly 2160 made. The bottom one is a Marlin 39M Octagon only made in 1973, only roughly 2150 made.

There is simply nothing like a nice lever gun!!

ahhhh Haskell.....made in Lima Ohio, or at least they were when I worked there....

 

[Breeve]

I recently came across an ithaca m-49. Unusual gun for being a single shot lever action.

 

[knutty]

I sold most of my "rare" stuff. Rarest was probably a 1942 Tula 91/30 PU sniper. Only about 2000 produced that year. I would guess there are less than 10 in the United States that are still in original sniper configuration and not a decommissioned "ex sniper". I had about 9 PU snipers at one point, sold them all. Probably should've kept one but oh well.

 

[Wolfhound]

M27 Finland Nagant and a French Lebel rifle currently. Yes, I like old military guns.

@SPOOK331945 ..I think you got your photos mixed up. That last one you called a Haskell (any relation to Eddie?) looks like you accidentally substituted a photo of a hammer. Or a doorstop.

@55fairlane ...Yeah for Lima. Had tons of relatives there at one time.

Oh, and the "rarest" firearm I've got is a S&W Model 29 in gorgeous blue.
It was made between the 29 and 629. It has an 8 3/8" barrel, full underlug (like a 629), Hogue grips, and an unfluted cylinder with a thin gold filled ring around it.
It's also damned accurate and comfortable to shoot with full wood .44 Magnum loads, like Federal P44e 300gr.

I know, I know, no heavy loads in a 29. Just a few......because.
She locks up like a vault and the timing is spot on.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

This is probably my most "unusual" gun, but I'm not sure how rare it is. Winchester Model 55 Rimfire. It's a single shot semi-auto. By that I mean, you load it, rack the round into the chamber (which sets the safety to "on"), and then when you fire it, the round is automatically ejected.

 

[Hkindiana]

Mine WAS an original German WWII FG42 second model Fallschirmjaeger rifle that is now on display at the Imperial War Museum in England

 

[Cavman]

Mine is a wincher model 94 in .375 h&h havent seen too many

 

[mkgr22]

I think I might have posted this rifle before on INGO.

It is a Gewehrfabrik Danzig Model 2, only a little over 1000 made in 1919.

What makes this one unique is that the serial number is "1".

 

[Tactically Fat]

I don't see very many of them at all, but I have an older (50's? 60's?) 20ga Mossberg 185-D bolt-action mag-fed shotgun. It was my Pappaw's, but I'm quite sure that it was his step-father's gun. My pappaw wasn't really a hunter / shooter at all.

 

[EOD Guy]

Here is a set of Transitional Bar Hammer Revolvers in a gentleman’s traveling set. I’ve pinged many experts and can’t positively ID the maker.

I also have a Whitney Howard Thunderbolt shotgun. I read an article where the NRA stated there are only 11 known survivors.

 

[Brandon]

Nothing too rare or at all. Think the oldest I have is from the 60's.

The rarest I have and again, not rare... Kimber SIS and Colt Rail Gun "100 years of service "

Like I said, not rare maybe just harder to find...
