Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Rare Factory Guns.

Anyone have a valuable factory gun? This is not a snob thread but post up a pic of a factory gun that is rare either because there were few made or chambering or whatever!

Here is a 20 ga. Factory Winchester 21.

I used to have a Colt Bankers Special .22. Wish I never sold it.

I don't know that it's particularly collectible or valuable but I have a Remington KS mountain rifle left handed in 300 H&H from the factory. To the best of my knowledge it's the only one.

Nice! That's what I'm talking about. You have pics?

Ruger LH stainless .308 Hawkeye. AFAIK they made about 17 of them. I had two and sold one.

Ruger LH stainless .223 Hawkeye. They made 19 or 21 of them, I forget which, but I have one. BTW, at least four of them that I know of were sent out of the factory with visibly bent barrels.

A Cabela's Ruger #1, in .30-40 Krag. IIRC one of 250. I have yet to see another one with wood this nice:



but it does go hunting

A well worn Argentine Sistema. Not rare, not in great shape, but all the numbers match, including the magazine, which is not common at all.



I nearly managed a 3" Colt Python once.(yes, three inch, not 2 1/2 - very rare but a known variant) Looked at it, walked away, thought about it maybe 30 seconds, realized it was a steal, turned around in time to see another guy say, "I'll take it" Pythons have gotten stupidly expensive lately, but that one would probably be worth $3-4k, and maybe more. oops

Ruger put some damn nice wood on some of there No. 1's and Red Labels!

Not particularly rare in their day but you don't see many today and they are accurate!

Remington #1 Rolling block .22 LR



Along side a Mossberg 351C "Jackrabbit Special".

Not sure how many were made but a Ruger 7x57 RSI.



Since bastardized into an RLS stock with an NECG receiver sight and sourdough blade.

Not in great shape but pretty rare. Smith and Wesson American in .44 Henry.

Iron sighted 308 steyr mountain rifle.

Just a short while back, I sold a Remington 40-XR Sporter 22LR repeater.

Supposedly only 700 and some made.

Sadly, I never took any pics of it.

Heres a winchester 1876 saddle ring carbine in 45-75 with a factory bayonet. Winchester letter says they made around 220 of them but the letter didn't say where they were shipped to,my guess is some banana republic.

An unfired bright stainless 6" python, pictured with the standard SS 6" that I do shoot.

Remington 700 VSC in .223 Rem. They only produced these in 1999 and 2000. Only something like 30% of them were made in .223. The rest were in .308, or 22-250. Mine is deadly accurate.

Though I do not have photos I do have Dad's Remington derringer and an unopened box of ammo. A nickel 41 Rimfire, engraved with gamblers poker hands and dice throws with mother of pearl grips in darn fine condition. Has a tidy holster as well.

I have a newton's first model in 256...2 digit serial number.

The best I can come up with is a left-hand Ruger #1B in .308.

1937 Hi Standard Model C ,.22 Short; only 4700 produced

heres a Marlin 1894 baby carbine,1 of 7 listed in the factory records in 32-20 caliber, most all were in 38-40 and 44-40.
