The Holy Grail.

[tarosean]

Im just curious as to what the Holy Grail of the NFA world would be???

i.e. the guns that there are probably only 1 or 2 in the DB.

 

[MtnCreek]

Any Dillon MiniGuns in the DB?

 

[CoRoMo]

I was also going to say Dillon, but there might or might not be one or two G18s in the registry. That is far from what I'd call a Holy Grail though. But I think I've heard/read that there are only a couple transferable Kalashnikovs in the US. I don't know, but that is one that I'd place high on the list.

 

[DoubleTapDrew]

Probably a mini-gun. The last transferrable one I saw for sale was asking $200k or $250k, can't remember which. Even if I was given one for free I could never afford to feed it.
Someone was selling a pair of M249s on Sturmgewehr around that same time for $45k each, I don't think there are many of those in the DB. I've seen AKs listed in the $14k-$15k range so there must be a few out there (although those were probably converted guns, not factory originals).
I have heard no G18s are here since they weren't released until 1986 but have heard there are a couple beretta 93Rs. Saw one for sale, I think the owner was asking like $28k IIRC and was talking about how rare transferrable ones are.

 

[TexasRifleman]

Not many M14's, I have always heard less than 10 with stamps.

 

[CoRoMo]

Dang, I would have guessed more M14s than that. The 93R is another I figured would be few.

 

[Robert]

For me, and it may not be that rare, it would have to be a Lewis Gun. Always wanted one.

 

[docnyt]

what about the M3 carbine?

 

[TexasRifleman]

Dang, I would have guessed more M14s than that. The 93R is another I figured would be few.

I would too but I've had several serious collectors cite that number. I know when they do come up for sale the prices are staggering.

My personal Holy Grail is a Walther MPL submachinegun. I know there are a few because at one time I owned one and had to sell it. Bad times in the 80s

Been trying to get one back ever since and I can never find one for sale.

Just saw one today as a matter of fact.

Thanks. Dealer sample, can't have that one

I see lots of them that are dealer samples, not many fully transferable.

 

[Exposure]

M40A1 106MM Recoilless rifle. Supposedly there are some on the registry. It is a true fire breathing monster. Not sure what I would even do with it, but I sure would like to have it sitting in my living room as a conversation starter.

 

[pikid89]

was there ever such thing as a Full Auto Ruger Standard/MKI/II?

 

[DoubleTapDrew]

M-14: http://www.subguns.com/classifieds/index.cgi?db=nfafirearms&website=&language=&session_key=&search_and_display_db_button=on&results_format=long&db_id=18034&query=retrieval
I've seen several for sale, usuallly between $14k-$20k so I wonder how many are in the registry.

I doubt there was ever a full auto ruger MkI or II, don't they only hold 10 rounds?

 

[Oyeboten]

For me, a Colt 'Monitor'.

 

[Ian]

The FG42 and MkB42(W) are both pretty interesting and extremely rare...

Me, I'd be happy with an RPD.

I thought that some Vietnam vets got exemption after GCA 68 to bring back AKs.

Well you could still register one, it's not a machine gun so you could still register a new one.

I thought I read somewhere that the movie Red Dawn was responsible for bringing in most of the NFA "AK" variants that are in the US....

 

[CoRoMo]

...the NFA "AK" variants that are in the US....

I would only 'Holy Grail' the all original Kalashnikov from the man himself. I don't think that there are but a couple hundred, true factory original transferables in the US. Just the history factor alone for me.

 

[jmorris]

The GE M134 used in predator, terminator, matrix and a bunch of other movies sold for $125k with blank and live barrels and all of the movie prop stuff back in 2000

 

[Vyacheslav]

i think an fg42 is up there, i only ever saw one for sale and it was like $150k

Imported machineguns couldn't be entered into the registry after the 1968 Gun Control Act, so any that were imported because of Red Dawn would be dealer samples only.

I would imagine that they were imported as semis and converted to full auto in the US.

 

[LHRGunslinger]

Simple answer: The ones we can't get our hands on. Like the AN-94, and the PP19 Bizon

 

[FIVETWOSEVEN]

We are talking about the guns that are in the registry, not those that can't be.
