What's the Rarest Gun You've ever owned?

[C4IGrant]

I had an accurate 9mm M&P. Does that count as rare?

LOL, not any more. Pretty common place now.

Maybe I'll look into them again... I have a bin full of mags. I still have a new one I've never fired...

PROBABLY a Ruger P-91. KLIN - TON I made sure there was no point to them a couple years later, so they shifted to the P-94.

When you do, let me know. I will personally go through all of them and find the best factory fitting barrel for you.

DWM Mauser Argentino 1908, sportierized with a 30-06 barrel in a walnut and rosewood stock. Definitely miss that rifle.

I actually have two...

First is a 1913 Mexican Arisaka Type 38 long rifle in 7x57 Mauser. In 1913, the Mexican govt. contracted the Nagoya Arsenal in Japan to build Type 38 Long Rifles in 7x57mm Mauser caliber. When Mexico stopped paying the Japanese...they stopped making and shipping the rifles. They only made these rifles in 1913. It looks like any other type 38 Arisaka except for the eagle and snake Mexican crest on the receiver ring and the different caliber. I have never shot this rifle and it is solid but has seen hard use. My guess is that it would up in Texas after the Mexican revolution. Paid 200 dollars for it in a Waco pawn shop where it had sat for years and had a thick coat of dust and surface rust. the thing is worth thousands..I have been told. Who knew?

Second is a 1918 dated Erfurt arsenal made P-08 German Luger. This pistol has all matching serial numbers and the original wooden bottomed magazine. The pistol also has a near mint bore. At some point in time, this pistol was captured by the Russians in the end of WWII and re-worked and issued to the East German Volkspolezei. It wears a perkerized finish, DDR stampings and some 1950s era bakelite grips. Now...how does a WWI issued Luger make it through 2 world wars, Russian capture and service in the East German Police and have a mint bore and all matching serial numbers? Oh..if this thing could talk. (I have shot it...the thing shoots just fine)

Rare guns? Well...I think they are rare.

Fantastic stories. My dad owned a German P08 Luger in the 1970's with all matching numbers including the magazine. Right after building his new house it got stolen and the deputies investigating said that it looked like a burglary committed by illegal aliens looking for guns to take back to Mexico. (How they deduced that I never knew).

I wonder if someday that Luger could turn up in the same pawn shop as that Arisaka....

I was like "meh" till I got to the part about the DDR stampings. THAT would be a cool Luger to own.

[Bolt_Overide]

cased kriegoff luger carbine. sold it some time back, got it for around 800, sold it for a great deal more than that.
