If you had $20,000 to spend on firearms, what would you get?

Well, if the money just fell into my lap like that, I would probably invest in a good solid concrete room with a really nice vault door. That would probably eat it all up. I don't really have the justification for it now (even if I did have the money), but there is always hoping.
One of my dad's friends had a set up like that, only he had two rooms. One to store Randall Knives and the other to store his collection of machine guns. I never got to see it myself, as he lived far away, but my dad spent quite a few weekends up there as you can imagine.

Interesting question. I've asked it before elsewhere in the form of "if all your current guns were lost and you got an insurance check for the value, how would you replace them?"
I like the ideas about a good, large safe and top-quality reloading equipment. Definitely good suggestions. With a Dillon 1050 costing $1500 and a bullet feeder being another $500, I could easily see dropping $5k of the $20k into reloading equipment alone with complete heads for .45, 9mm, 5.56 and 7.62 and the associated stands etc.
Another $2k minimum for a good safe.
Then it would be a trio of Noveske N4s (assuming they eventually come out with a 10.5) which would run right around $10k for the trio with accessories and optics, oh and a can.
That leaves $3k, which I'd likely spend on a few Glocks in various sizes/calibers. A trio of 9mms (17, 19, 26) which would use up about $2k with sights and holsters, leaving $1k or so for a .45 or 10mm with associated magazines and holsters.
If I had just a tiny bit more, maybe another $3k, I'd opt for a Wilson Combat CQB fullsize in 9mm and a compact aluminum in .45; one for shooting one for carry.

I'd get a fine English or Spanish double, custom fitted to my dimensions. With only 20k, I'd probably have to 'settle' for a Spanish gun, from the Basque region.

Two hundred and twenty-two Nagants.
NIB or LNIB S&W 36 or 37. ($6-800)
Decent 1911. ($6-800)
Glock 26, Glock 17 [(already have a 19), ($1100)]
Ruger Gp100 3" ($550)
Magazines, speedloaders and ammo for the above: $4250*
-------------------------------------
Decent Ak-47 ($5-700)
Kel-tec Sub-2000 G17 grip ($400)
LNIB Yugo SKS [(with cosmo cleaned off),($400)]
Marlin 1894c ($450)

*$5000 would be snuck away as charity money. I'd say I'd buy more guns with it then would give $1000 each to 5 organizations.

Accuracy International AW re-chambered to .260 Remington. Nightforce Scope. Reloading setup and components for .260 Remington. Spare barrel or two, threaded and topped with a suppressor.
I'm thinking this would run about $12-$15K.
Next up would be a Benny Hill Benelli M2.
Anything left over goes to MGM or Larue Tactical for steel targets.

I'd buy 130 Hi-Points and just throw them away instead of cleaning them.

To start off another safe or two, but like the idea of a hidden concert gun room to start with.
Then another AR or two, all tricked out... stock pile ammo for all the guns I have. New reloading press set up for everything I reload.
Then if any money left, which I doubt, get a couple investment guns.
As I read the replies, seems we're all on the same page.
