My last pickup was this Saiga.

full arsenal is a springfield XD .45, m&p shield 9mm (daily carry), 91/30 Mosin (hex receiver) and a Yugo SKS. I have an 80% lower for an AK47 and a AR that I have yet to start.
Sweet thread m8.
Some fun in the arms room:
My old office:
My favorite guns:
I'll have to go take some pictures of my own collection when I get a chance, but I've got a little video I can throw in.
Me and a couple of buddies out in the desert shooting a propane tank with a Springfield M1A. Hot sand lands on my buddy's back so he screams a bit, good times. it's uncut, so bear with me, but there are 2 more angles that I can't seem to find that shows how close my other 2 friends were, they were less than 10 feet away behind a small ditch.

@Sky I am going to try to work my way to having a collection like that soon. I want a starting base group of guns consisting of one bolt action rifle, handgun, shotgun, and a semi-auto rifle. After I have all of that then I will focus on working on a collection of my favorite more expensive ones.
@Wugums That first pic reminds me of these pictures haha
I have a black Remington 7mm Mag rifle (bolt action). Its at my dads house temprarily as he supposedly got invited to go shooting recently, and said he would give it back to me, with the title, after it got some servicing. Someday I will hunt with it. I also will have a Mossberg 12 guage pump shotgun...28in barrel. :D I love it.
I am in the market for a cheap .22 long rifle. Was told to check out Ruger 10/22s...the cheaper ones.
In the realm of knives, I have a couple cheap pocket knifes. One is a simple utility knife. And I have a special one that was given to be by a former US Marine that I know..a friend of my moms. A Gerber folding knife. Pretty darn sharp...and good lookin as well. He got it while serving in the Middle East during Operation Desert Storm...never used it over there. So i think its pretty amazing that I can say I have a military knife that has been in the Middle East. :)

Also forgot that I have my old 870 for home defense. Loaded with 2 shells of 01 buckshot then the rest are 04 buckshot.
@the 22 talk. I'd get a .22 for plinking. I love finger fucking my guns though so it kills me that I can't dry fire it. I shot a P22 a few times and I liked it. I have no hoard of ammo and where I live it's hard to get a hold of so I really have no reason to get one atm.
I agree with Wugums if I got a 1911 it would feel weird not getting a .45. But in the end it's all about preference. I have had my eye on this one and it has been taunting me saying "don't worry about buying a shotgun, bolt action, or AR-15. Just get me and put some gold plated grips on. I mean who cares about money?"
I mean who cares about money?"
well, if you did...you can virtually build a ar15 around 500$
