Mine would have to be either an HK23e (think HK 54 but beltfed) or an As Val.

I'd love to have a leveraction in 45-70. My favorite gun i own is a semi auto 30-06. Tons of fun

A VAL/VSS would be up there if this grail gun wish comes with ammo as well.

I'd also love a FAL but every time I look I can't justify the expense when an AR-10 will be better at everything at a fraction of the price. I'm also really interested in an Urutau once the print files are released, and really any 3D printed firearm.

My gateway "grail gun" (i.e., first gun and start to a very expensive hobby) was an AK, ended up going with a Yugo M70. Beautiful rifle and have had almost no issues with it. Just hoping 7.62x39 goes down in price soon(TM)

Smith and Wesson 500 Emergency Survival. Last I checked they go for like $4000 on Gunbroker :(

That's honestly an insane mark up. I looked it up original MSRP was like $1.5k. Actually fairly reasonable for a revolver plus the packaged stuff. But I guess I didn't realize the S&W collector market was still so lively and had much interest on more recent (post 2000) stuff.

A really nice old SxS. I have a couple servicable field grade LC Smiths, but nothing of any higher grades or condition.

I have a long list of different custom firearms I'd love to put together like an engraved 1911 and a bolt gun from a defiance barreled action, but here's the off-the-shelf or clone list for me:

Nighthawk Sandhawk

Mark 12 clone from PRI

Knight's Armament SR-25

Bula Defense M14

M24 Sniper System or clone of one

M40A6

Some of these, like the M24, I can probably make happen in the next couple months/years. Some like the Nighthawk and SR-25 may never happen just because they're not a priority.
