What gun do you save?

[Urban Coyote]

Can't decide, guess I'd just have to go up in smoke with the guns.

 

[Century to late]

My dads 99 Savage. My first deer and my sons first. It would be on top of the load in my arms like fire wood.

 

[sheriff john]

My Tingle pistols. One inherited from my father & our first M/L pistol.

 

[Walkabout]

My T/C Mountain Magnum 12 gauge.

 

[villagelightsmith]

Probably my Beretta tricentenial (by ASM) over-under 12 bore and one of the underhammer target rifles. I might even stay inside for a couple of seconds, pitching more of the collection out through the windows. A cord of long guns, and a peck of scopes. Kind'a high on the list might be that 50lb box of FFG for reasons unknown. A few benchrest guns ... Whatever's on top of the pile would likely go out the window with me to follow. The cat hates me, so he's on his own unless he asks very nicely. The Wife's Pomeranian gets the boot and toss for sure. And of course, the Wife. I couldn't make it beyond a few weeks without her, seriously.

My 4 rifles are on a rack. I think I can at least try to grab them all. But, my dog comes first, or is that my wife?

Isn’t this the reason we all bought fire safes? To protect from fire and thieve?
If they are out probably Kibler colonial or smr

Unfortunately fire resistant safes are pretty much a joke especially depending on where you live. Really only help in a very small fire that is quickly put out by yourself or a paid fire company that covers your house. Read the labels, good for 30 minutes etc. Around here too many people are covered by under staffed volunteer departments that struggle to get enough people to the scene to fight the fire. They have to call for mutual aide from other departments that take way too much time to get there to save much. Search You Tube and you will see many examples of safes that went through a fire, most of what is inside is toast. Wood is burned up and steel no longer safe to use as a firearm. I have seen several remnants of guns that went through a fire being sold on GB. Just my view

 

[gunpa]

I'm afraid I'd be toast---- until the fire overheated my powder cabinet, then I'd be itty bitty croutons!

 

[Boomerang]

I would save my CCI #11 percussion caps! Nowadays they are worth more than the guns!

 

[Wildman187]

I would have to grab my M1A and my M1. Couldn’t replace my BP rifles but you have to have your priorities.

 

[KevinC]

I would save the only Flintlock rifle that I ever built for myself. I made that one in '89 when my daughter was born.
I had made a few for others by then, and at that point I asked myself "What would I pay a guy to build for me?"
South Carolina architecture, iron fitted, 40", 40 cal.
Everything else could be replaced, but leaving the original 1851 Colt behind would feel like sacrilege.

 

[Muddly]

Sorry, but it would have to be my unmentionable.
A VERY close 2nd would be my factory laminate stocked T/C Hawken.
When my powder goes up, hopefully I could catch one of my Renegades or Pennsylvania Hunters on reentry...

 

[Sparkplug]

I'd bypass my entire collection to rescue an unmentionable that belonged to my Pop. Forget the guitars, coins, and cats (I'll leave the door open). That gun will be second only to my family.

 

[cannonball1]

The target rifle I built with a stock blank. I purchased a 45-70 GM Barrel and breeched it for a muzzleloader, carved the stock and engraved the metal parts. It has a1 in 18 twist, and a Shaver Peep Sight. It is a tack driver. I gave all of my un-mentionables to the kids. The only guns left are my custom made muzzleloaders, #11 caps, and some Swiss Powder. My Browning's are gone. I wouldn't think of shooting a deer or elk without it belching smoke.

NONE, As a retired ff/inv Get out of the house. Real life is more important than fantasy.

Do not encourage stupid things as encouraging someone to risk their life on an object.
Real life is way more important than fantasy life learn it please.

The worst job I ever had in the fire dept was shoveling a bunt body into a bag. Sounds blunt but it should be felt that way so no one else has to have it done to THEM.

Please grow up.

The biggest share of the subjects on these forums are nonsensical and some are just silly. This subject is just that and I don't think anyone on this forum would put life over matter, I sure wouldn't, but once in a while I enjoy some silliness.

Well said.

 

[rmark]

Custom heavy barrel .50 target rifle OR Parker Hale Volunteer, I'd probably die of smoke inhalation while trying to decide

 

[Flintlock Whiskey]

You wake up, your house is afire but your family’s safe. All your bp guns are laid out on the couch and you only have time to save one and bail out. What gun do you save?

My flintlock Kentucky that I didn't/couldn't get until I reached the age of 56.

 

[2 shots]

i hope none of us ever have to decide
