Iconic in its day, Henry Rifle.
Iconic that everyone should recognize...other calibers are ok, but these are the iconic ones for the respective weapons. As someone said earlier, even non-gun folks should recognize these.
1911 in .45 acp
Winchester Model 94 in .30-30, preferably pre-64.
Winchester Model 12
Browning A5
Colt SAA in .45 LC
AR-15 in 5.56
AK-47

Here’s my list . Granted lame laws and even more stupid prices do prohibit one or two all the rest are easily accessible .
The first is the Mac daddy comblock gun that everyone has seen at least once . Called by some the greatest general purpose machine gun available .
1. The PKM .
Next I’d have to roll with the old classics. I like them with no plastic just classical wooden stocks.
2. AK-47
Both are 5.56 . One is heavy and one is not . Only One has a wire cutter and bottle opener . They both are easily recognized but one just keeps your attention.
3 and 4. IMI Galil and the XM177
Then the last spot goes to a rifle that never gets the credit it deserves :
While heavy as **** , carries like a yard stick , it’s loud and really just too much rifle for most this rifle still demands respect! To be a semi auto .308 it handles recoil nicely .
5. The hk G3

For everyone posting pistols, you did read that the OP was asking about iconic LONG guns, just pointing that out.
