Well, I'm with you, Major, on the Winchester '95 carbine. I recently picked up a '95 rifle (made 1899) in 30-40, but the rifle needs a carbine so as to not feel too lonely.
I also longed for a C96 Mauser for a long time. My wife finally got tired of me hopping up and down, pointing at every one we saw in every museum we went to (every museum has at least one). She finally told me to stop doing that and just save my money. I ended up with a nice 1917 broomhandle and it is very cool.
My list seems to shift all the time, though. The only other gun that has been on there forever is a good older Hi-Power. The first semi-auto that I shot was my friend's dad's GI bringback made early in the war with German markings and I was in love. Someday...
I would also like a nice Colt Frontier Six-Shooter, but once my gun budget reaches about $1500, I seem to find something more urgent...
