Just watch some of Ian's videos on Forgotten Weapons and you're bound to see something obscure that you want to have.

The AA-12 full auto shotgun.

Always liked the FR8.
Looks like a bolt gun with a gas system.
"... And miles to go before I sleep".
A Krag carbine and a Lahti would do it for me.
I do have a `98 Krag rifle that somebody bubba'd into a carbine with a 19" barrel. Years ago, I took a nephew rifle shooting. A couple of his buddies were seriously impressed that he had gotten to shoot a Krag. I shot it in a 3-gun match a few years ago and the muzzle blast broke the electronics of the match-timer's ear pro.
If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.

Jati, Finnish 9mm submachine gun.

I especially find the first semi-automatic pistols fascinating.
I had an FR7 for a while. I hated the sights so I sold it but it was a cool rifle.Always liked the FR8.

I tend to like obscure calibers in otherwise pedestrian firearms. Some examples include the following:
1) S&W M544. The only time S&W chambered .44-40 Winchester in a N-frame revolver. A five-inch version, to boot, which I find to have the best balance of the N-frames.
2) S&W M547. A K-frame hand-ejector that actually ejects 9x19. Nothing like the 940, which was famous for stuck empty cases.
3) Ruger Blackhawk in .38-40/10mm and .32-20/.32 H&R from a now out-of-business distributor, Buckeye Sports. Also a Bisley-Vaquero in .38-40/.40 S&W.
4) Colt Series '80 in 9x23 Winchester. The best way to shoot .357 Magnum levels in an autoloader.
5) Marlin 1894CBC in .32 H&R Magnum
6) Marlin 1894C in .357 Magnum
7) Marlin 1894FG in .41 Magnum
8) S&W M53 in .22 Remington Jet
9) S&W M610 in 10mm Auto
10) S&W M646 in .40 S&W

I used to have a Smith model 16, chambered in 32 magnum.

For current obscure, I like all things Grand Power.
For not-too-distant-past obscure, the South African Vektor is irrationally interesting to me.
For old obscure, the Savage 1907 and the Mauser HSc (neither of which are truly obscure among PF'ers, I realize).
