Name any pre-2000 guns you dream of owning...
...but still haven't yet been able to come by.
Mine, prefer excellent to mint, or at least fully restore-able as by polishing, rebluing and/or stock refinishing (no damaged markings, deep scratches, cracks, rust, marring or pits, no aftermarket receiver drilling)
1. pre-2000 Mossberg 500 field shotgun, 12 ga., blue
2. Savage Model 99 with round counter, plain non-take-down model in a common deer caliber OR Husqvarna Model 3000 Crown Grade bolt-action rifle (common deer calibers include: .308, .30-06, .300 Savage and .270)
4. Colt Lawman Mark III .357 revolver, 4" barrel, blue
The nicest modern firearms I've ever seen were made from about 1899 through 1979. I consider the 1950's through the 1970's the Golden Age of Guns. When Colt came out with the Series 80, guns have been progressively tanking ever since.
