i would like to find

a 10/17
a pc9

Other than a few pre-production models of the 10/17 you'd be out of luck. I do happen to know the location of a couple 10/17 factory marked bbls though. Maybe I can finally get one...or both.

I have been looking for a KMK512GC made for Big Rock Sports and a KMK512P made for Outdoor Sports. I lucked into a couple of my holy grails. A MK678US 2 digit serial number NIB. And a KMK512B.

 

[crankgrinder]

Red label shotgun for me. Maybe not for collectors.

 

[tigger]

I would have to go with the Ruger AC-556

If you are looking for a collectible because you love Rugers, there has been some good advice given here.

If you are looking for collectible guns that go up in value, there are a lot of better choices out there.

I'm not a "collector" so I don't worry about rarity.......

I would say if I had to pick one for me it would be the "urban legend" of the 6" fixed sight Service Sixes that were reportedly ordered by one or more PD"s but no one has ever reported seeing one......sure with some expert machining and fitting of a 6" Security Six barrel to a Service Six one could be made but not the same as "finding" one.

2nd place is a .380 Rim Service Six, I've seen many but never had the $7-800 at the time, missed the boat when you couldn't give one away......

.38 Special Security Six 6"?

Other than that my only "Holy Grails" are the Rugers that are high on my list........like a .45 ACP Redhawk, Match Champion, Bisley Vaquero .357, Single 7, etc.

.44 magnup gp100

Make one already!!!!!!

 

[snoplow]

a folder ac 556 or that tech 9 looking pistol they made

Most don't know it unless you know the history of Bill Ruger, but the first gun he made was a machine gun, belt fed for military trials, from what I remember. That was even before the 22 red eagle, or any other gun he made, back when they were in the tool/ hardware business in its infancy.. Never seen pictures, or references to what happened to it. I bet it would be the upmost holy grail if it still exsists.

 

[blackhawkfan]

Unconverted 44 Mag Three Screw Flattop Blackhawk with factory fitted 6 1/2" Barrel. According to my reference, only 600 produced in 1966.

While not a firearm, I did see an eBay auction some time back for one of the Ruger egg beaters that used the grip frame from a standard pistol as the handle. Neat conversation piece but way to much $$$ for me.

I think they made a car, and some hardware tools in their early years as well, highly collectible, highly expensive.

correct they made a few cars and many tools that used grips very similar to pistols, and theres alot of ruger collectors that are deep into ruger tools. my ruger books talk about that.

wouldn't mind having a few red eagle handled tools, although they would never be used for their intended purpose.

 

[Hairtrigger]

One of my grail guns was a Woodside Red Label but I was lucky to find one at a reasonable price and check that off my list.
Hawkeye handgun remains on the list

 

[Marshal Ruger]

Personally a Red Label or "two" has eluded my collection, 12 and 20 gauges would be nice.

 

[slimjim9]

GP100 Model 1756, 5" blued .357, recently discontinued by Davidson's but still no evidence it was ever seen in the wild

 

[Ten Man]

How about a Ruger 10/22 Magnum in stainless steel?

Or is that a pipe dream?

I would like one of those, along with a ruger 44 mag carbine in stainless, new version magazine fed of course.
