Rare firearms

[georgia357]

Saw a post this morning and it got me to thinking about rare firearms that people owned. The rarest I have would be the Rasheed 7.62x39 carbine. Only about 8000 were made, not too awful rare but not too common either. What do you folks have that's rare?

I had a Russian Tigr, The civilian SVD. HAd to sell it thanks to almost losing my job. Still kick myself. Also one of your Rasheeds bigger brother. Had 2 of the Hakims in 8mm Mauser.

S&W 686 CS-1 3" About 1500 made, half destroyed by feds.
Ruger GPNY About 2600 made, very few if any ever actually issued.
S&W 16-4 4" Only made for a few years, not sure how many were made.

And that is the beauty of S&W revolvers, besides being an all around good gun and decent shooter, there are quite a few that are collectible. I've been fortunate that every S&W revolver I own is collectible, although not all are what I would consider rare.

That's a nice collection Mikey357. I'm sure that's not all of them either

No, not all...I just wish I had some of the one's I traded off or sold off BACK!...a three-inch AND a four-inch CS-1...a three-inch Model 60-4...a Springfield Armory Commemorative Model 625...a Randall SS GM...a coupla' the "Heritage" series...you get the idea... ....mikey357

I had at one time TWO 3" CS-1's AND a 4". I sold off the 4" and one of the 3" guns for about $350 each.

I had one guy at a match offer me $1200 for the remaining CS1, another offered me an HKP7M8, several magazines, holster etc. in trade.

One of these days I'm gonna sneak down to Griffin just to drool

I believe I would have had to let the guy with the "Cash Offer" "HOLD" THAT Gun!!!...but that's just ME...and probably why I sold a 98% mid-6o's BHP for a $60 "Profit"...'cause you can ALWAYS find another one, right? RIGHT???... ...or, maybe NOT....mikey357

Not sure how rare it really was, but I've only seen the one I had...FN49. Awesome old school MBR 8mm...
