An AK-47. The biggest reason that I haven't gotten one is that it''s just not very practical. Parts aren't interchangeable without a lot of hand fitting, ammunition has gotten ridiculously expensive due to sanctions against Russia, range isn't great (those 7.62 bullets are heavy and slow; hitting anything past 200y is a real challenge), etc., etc. They've also gotten fairly expensive, while prices for more modern rifles have dropped sharply.

I might still get one eventually. I'd like to have one, just to shoot for fun, but there are so many other higher priorities.
