While I don’t have one firearm that is on my all time, must have list, I’d say that the Stoner 63A is one I’d love to have.
The modular design is a feat of engineering, with an interesting list of users.
What’s your grail gun?

Frankly I’d just really love to see a video of someone who has access to all the various conversion kits etc for the 63. I’ve handled a couple of variants since they have them in the NFC at Leeds and often seen the modularity mentioned and heard talk of all he myriad ways you can set the gun up, but I think I’ve only ever (maybe) once seen any of the different configuration changes demo’d on video.
To shoot I’d say any FG-42 would be my grail; I’ve fired every other weapon that’s truly iconic of WW2 (to my mind) but not the FG.
LeMat Revolver – 9 shots of .42 cal and 20 gauge under barrel… can’t imagine why they stopped using them after 1865…. wait – is it because that qualifies it as an assault pistol?
Swiss Sig 510-1 for myself… first weapon I was ever exposed to. It would be nice to have extra chamber inserts (interchangeable locking reseses), and lots of 7.5X55 cartridges in the different varieties.
Cheytac M200 Intervention, The first time i saw one on “Future Weapons”, that was it, and some 10+ years later, i managed to get one. Makes 1000 yard shots warm ups, 2000 yards isn’t too difficult with it.
I learn something new from this website everyday. For instance, look at the soldier holding that Stoner 63A… see I had no idea Woody Harrelson was A Navy SEAL in Vietnam.
I would have to go with the fowler that Captain Parker carried at Lexington Green. Wouldn’t want to own it; no one should. But I’d like to hold it one time.
Steyr ACR
HK P7
I had one. Grouped like a laser. Also got really really hot when you shot it.
HK P7 for me too.
My personal grail gun would be the Ultimax 100.
All the videos I’ve seen of it make it look like a ton of fun.
Ditto. And the Stoner 63A.
And a 1st pattern FG42.
YES that an amazing rifle way ahead of its time

The Winter Swattriplex prototypes.
I had to look that one up and have to agree.
1. RIFLE: CARBINE LENGTH XM8.
2. PISTOL: OLD SCHOOL LAPD SWAT 1911 W/ BIG SUREFIRE LIGHT.
HK21E w/ scope
H&H 475NE
A-Square 458Lott
FN FNC
I will probably never see one outside of the movie Heat.
Had one, was ok. It looks cool, but I sold it and kept my M16
Ultimax 100 or an AS VAL.
Magpul Masada.
Carl Gustav KGm/37.
21 pounds of 6.5×55 Swedish Mauser goodness with 500 RPM and an effective range over 1,300 meters.
Another vote for the FN FNC. I balked when they were #2800.00 a few years ago on GB. Today, sellers are wanting $4500.00 and some more than that.

Mongo 63… Look him up.
He’s got a pretty damn complete 63 setup.
I would loooove to get my hands on a Gepard GM6 Lynx. It’s a .50BMG that is mechanically fascinating.
AS VAL for sure.
Or a VKS, with a ton of ammo.
Or a PSG-1.
The list is looong.
A phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range.
Hey, just what you see, pal.
Not wise to leave the shotgun shells stacked on the counter…’your not allowed to do that’. Last words
great reference!
🙂
ATK GAU-23/A and an HHL-16.
I’ve always loved this picture of Woody Harrelson with a Stoner.
Detachable mag fed c96 with a bevy of spare parts to bubba. I’ve got ideas, see.
Armat M41A Pulse Rifle with U1 Grenade Launcher. I will settle for a M3 Greasegun with an OSS suppressor though.
HK G-11…
End discussion.

SAN SWISS SIG 553.
Swiss Sig 510-1 for myself… first weapon I was ever exposed to. It would be nice to have extra chamber inserts (interchangeable locking reseses), and lots of 7.5X55 cartridges in the different varieties.
I was thinking the SIG AMT or SG 510.
It’s hard enough to find a non AR modern sporting rifle at a decent price anymore, so I might as well dream big
I hate to be a douche, but I’m happy with what I have.

Good man.
Lahti AL-43 or the Johnson Autocarbine.

Who would have guessed!
HK11 and Goncz GS-4
That stoner LMG weapons platform. A weapon system that made sense that’s why the military didn’t adopt it.
Magpul PDR (I know, I know).
Magpul FMG!
Mateba 2006M

Luckily I have one of the above. ?
M202 Flash!!! LOL Shot everything else at people during deployments, but never shoulder launched white phos rounds!
