That I own, a CZ 452 FS in .22LR. $300.
That I'm working on, an FN-49 in 8mm. $800. (I got a bit ripped off, but oh well...it's worth it to me.

I'm in the process of putting together a MP5. Once it's completed, it will probably run me somewhere around $16,000. That includes the registered sear (2/3rds of the total), the HK94 host gun, the HK94 conversion by a gunsmith, an Aimpoint & mount, a replacement stock, a railed foreend and a few other things I'm probably forgetting.
My most expensive title I gun is probably an AR that's worth about $2k.

In todays' money or at time of purchase?
That would be my BHP 9mm, which cost me $460.00 back in 1991. Locally they're going for right around $700.00 now, so it would still be my most expensive gun if i had to purchase it new today. There have been some more recent purchases between 500-600, but now we're talking in terms of the value in 2005/06 dollars. At this point there's nothing tempting me to add to the collection that is more than $700-ish today, and quite a few are a good bit less than that, so my BHP will likely hold the title of most expensive in my small collection for the rest of my time.

Beautiful Norinco 86-S AK bullpup in perfect unused condition, in the box, with a serial number well below 50.
A little less than $2000.
Perhaps the rarest Kalashnikov rifle in the United States, less than 500 came into the country before they were banned. One of the great non-NFA Kalashnikov collectors pieces.

Most expensive single purchase was a Kimber TacPro II in 9mm @ $925. I also have a Walther P-5 Compact that I have about $1200 in, after a ROBAR refinish and buff-up , night sights and a set of Nils grips, and a Kimber Custom Royale with some tuning and FO target sights at about $1k. Love 'em all.

Ahhh...yeah.
If our wives saw this site and the prices, Lordy!
For me, the most expensive pistol was a:
Custom Shop Kimber Gold Combat: $1,995.00 plus tax. It was defective and had to be sent back twice.
The most expensive rifle was a:
Custom Sauer 202 Safari .375 H&H valued at about $2,000.00 but that I bought for an astonishing $995.00! Some guy ordered it, put down a few hundred then never came back for it. As it turned out, his down payment combined with their wanting to get rid of it, meant that I walked out paying the difference for simply covering their cost.
For what it is worth, I don't think I would put that amount of cash into a new pistol or rifle again. There seem to be a very nice availabilities for less. Of course, I could be wrong.

Before I read this I was feeling bad for shelling out a cool grand for a pre-owned/never shot Remington No.1 rolling block from the custom shop, but now I feel pretty good about it! BTW, it is one fantastic rifle!
