Swiss Vetterli .41 Swiss rimfire converted to center fire Blackpowder cartridge I love the old fencepost.

Not really my favorite, but it sure has my respect, it has takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

1962 Remington Sportsman 48, 16 ga semi-auto, 2 3/4 in, 26 in barrel "full choke" short barrel.
My dad gave this shotgun to me on my first chukar hunt.
It has been "accidentally" dropped in Hood Canal in January. Spent 20 years as a closet queen. Did a tour rattling around behind the seat on my old Silverado.
Has never misfired or had a mechanical problem.
Now graces a place of honor, kept clean and lubed, fully loaded alternated 00 buck and slugs, in a quick to reach SHTF location.

Ugly, scratched and pitted, but I would bet my life on it.

Belgian made Browning Auto 5 shotguns

for odd and don't have, I like the Rem Model 8/Rem Model 81/FN 1900, with choice of cartridge being .35 Rem.

  4 00's in the tube slide open and magazine cut off engaged. Got a 1952 bought for my uncle by my aunt when they got married in 1958. After my dad passed away my little brother got ahold of it and rattled it around behind his seat for a while, beat the crap out of it I repo'd it from him. He ended up selling off every other gun my dad had including my aunts 1958 94 30-30 and uncles 1958 BAR '06 all wedding gifts. So I'm am glad I saved this one, would love to refinish but can't do it. Killed a few grouse with it but it spends most it's time by the bed loaded with buck.

Odd and don't have?  Don't get me started.  That's another thread.

[Lucky1]

Remington Nylon 66MB "Mohawk Brown" .22LR

 Could a manufacturer get away with that these days?

I have one of those. I love it. It is still killing varmints and pests. Always works.

My favorite , weido is a

Rossi Circuit Judge.
Not good for a darn thing. Except as all round camp gun. It goes on every trip
And sleeps in a case hanging on the wall of my tent,next to my cot.

Five rounds .410 or 45 long colt,fast as you can pull the trigger.

Not sure it's an oddball, but I'm quite fond of my 1958 20ga Superposed.  This gun is kind of interesting though.  It's a 1960's J.C. Higgins Model 21 that a friend gave me about ten years ago.  I've been thinking about cleaning it up and putting it back together.

I have a 1957 222 that is in almost mint condition.  I have the optional peep sight that goes w/it.   

[Bill W]

My favorite one is a Browning Citori I haven't bought yet.

[Rem14]

One of kind Remington? Got this rifle from the estate of an prior Remington employee. Was this some type of prototype ? Or something made during lunch break? Many of the parts appear to be Remington 14, others are custom made. 30 Rem on barrel , scope is a Weaver KV  2 3/4-5x, scope mount and rings custom made. The safety is the leaver in the trigger guard.

I have a 6" Smith 22 Masterpiece that is stainless.   No goofy full lug.  It was a prototype done for a limited (116 copies) run. 


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_%26_Wesson_Model_17
Model 617 - At the same time S&W introduced the Model 17 full Under Lug, (discontinued in 1998) they also began production of the .22 caliber Model 617. This is the stainless steel version of the blued steel Model 17 .22 LR, however all Model 617's have full, Under Lug barrels.

They are super rare.  A guy on this thread has a picture of one.  http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-revolvers-1980-present/103920-617-model-17-a.html
