Many of us are happy with what we have, but.......What might tempt you to consider buying another pistol, shotgun?

A Field Grade CSMC Fox, an Officer's Model 1911 w/round butt, or maybe a SAA with a 3 inch bbl and birdshead grip?

I'm easily tempted, but not by those choices.

Recent acquisitions here are a Citori CXS because i said more than once if they ever made a target version Citori again without the stupid ports I'd buy one, a real 1911A1 from the CMP, and a Ruger Wrangler because it's hard to pass up a well made non-imported 22 for $200 in spite of the alloy frame.

I'm currently waiting on a lever cocked spring piston air rifle to have something to play with in the winter in the garage. I no longer call shooting outdoors in the winter 'fun'.

I've played with lever action rifles, buffalo guns, belted cased stuff, rapid fire pistol, etc... I have yet to own a double rifle just because of the expense and a real lack of a use for one other than just to broaden horizons but never say never...

A good German double rifle (SxS) in 7/8/or 9.3mm W/scope would "turn my comb red" as my late friend WAG used to say.

I recently yielded to my latest temptation:

I bought a sidelock yesterday morning before breakfast.

Great way to start the day.

Recently fell off the wagon to the tune of a
34” K80 Parcours with thin wall choke tubes.
11 years shooting a high rib gun…… we’ll see.

I’d say a (Ithaca) Lefever A Grade in 16ga but after all these years of looking I recently found and acquired one.

So, of course, nothing else would tempt me. 😉

I owned one of those in 20ga. Ithaca didn't make a lot of those A Grades. Nice guns, but rare enough that you do need to do some looking.

A Field Grade CSMC A.H. Fox in .410 with 30" barrels, for under $7K. Ain't gonna happen, soooo ......

A 30" barreled .410 I.J. Skeeter, like eightbore's

An all original Joseph Manton 16 ga. m/l with 30" barrels

A nice English single barrel fowler with 31"-32" barrel. ( I bid on one a few months ago and got beat out)

An English hammergun S X S with 32" barrels in "trap pigeon" configuration, fluid steel barrels, not reamed in the bores or chokes, 2 3/4" - 3" chambers, nitro proofed, 2 1/2" - 2 5/8" DAH, 14 1/2" - 14 3/4" pull, at 8+ lbs............... all original. Well ......... as long as we're wishing.

I never know what shotgun is going to cast its spell on me until I see it.

I am waiting on another one in transport from the UK by Steve, Edgar Perks SLE...can't even get appropriate ammo for it until RST fires up the presses again:/

I recently dipped my big toe in the Ithaca pool with this early 30's NID 28

I have been looking for the right ($) SXS "bore" rifle for some time. My bank account just will not cooperate!!!!

there is nothing I need, and nothing I am looking for, and that means less than nothing....

I am with Stan in a search for a British long barrel, fluid steel, hammer pigeon gun, 32" barrels a requirement. A while ago, I fulfilled my search for a British fluid steel, hammer pigeon gun. Unfortunately, my high condition bar in iron Whitworth Steel Purdey has the cursed 30" barrels, but I'll struggle along with it.

I was thinking of two or three guns to add to the collection, a Grant sidelever or just plain old sidelock, a nice English boxlock or a Parker VH 20 gauge.
But with the world situation now I am not looking to buy a 2 1/2" gun.

I need to sell some maybe probably kinda nope changed my mind. A lever gun in 500sw mag or 50-110 would be really tempting or an 8 gauge. I have plenty of pistols

I "Didn't buy" the best Grant sidelever I have seen in some time at the Baltimore Show in March. If I see it again, I will refer it to the previous poster so I can "Not buy it" again. I am way overbought.

Still looking for the right hammergun.

Best English side lock

A 10ga Greener, even low grade, but with Pristine F&F barrels

https://www.gunsinternational.com/g...t-10ga-ble-duck-gun.cfm?gun_id=102002887

A side-by-side capable of heavy waterfowl loads and steel shot if that is all that ends up being available.

My pre-breakfast purchase. 12b, 28," and 6.5#. I think it will work.

I bought a AYA model 4, 3” off a Holts sealed bid a couple years ago for under $150.00. Imported it and had the chokes opened up to .015& .025 which I like for steel. All told I’ve got well under a grand in a knockabout steel safe double for steel. AYA are very cheap in GB and easy to find one in excellent shape. It will cost more to import them and buy them. A Model 3 which is extractors is even more common.

I'm in the liquidation mode rather than the accumulation mode, but the one thing I would like to have is a British falling block single shot rifle in something like 7x57R, 8x57R, .303 or .30-40 Krag. I saw one (in .30-40) about 30 years ago on a Farquharson action that Griffin & Howe had done, probably in the 1930s from the serial number, and never forgot it. At the time, it was completely out of my reach financially and I'm sure it would be today, but if I came across it again and could swing it by hook or crook, I'd buy it and use it to hunt whitetails, black bear and elk.

May I dream? A Winchester Model 21 SKEET in 28-gauge. Or something roughly analogous from Holland & Holland or one of the other British makers.

Realistically, I'd inexplicably love to have a (relatively) affordable, high-quality Spanish or Italian side-by side in 28-gauge, pistol or semi-pistol grip, flush removable chokes, with nice wood, that I could casually fool around with for trap, skeet, 5-stand, low-flying zeppelin defence, drone suppression, grouse repulsion, and basic aesthetic swaggering.

Not exactly what you are after but fairly close and I expect you could make it so. 21/28/30"

Like Pipeliner, I look for a top quality sidelock British gun, specifically a 30" Purdey pigeon gun. I am lucky to own a Purdey hammer pigeon gun, heavy proof, bar in iron, one of the last ones made. Somehow, I have a craving for a matching hammerless gun.

Early Lefever B side plate, top lever, in 10 or 12ga with 30" barrels, stepped lock plates, carved clover leaf on the breech balls and barrel wings. Nice one on GI but the price is too rich for me.

My gun safe always has room for "just one more", Just in case!
