Buy a quarter section build a small house and make a nice rifle-pistol range in my backyard. Fenced off to avoid harming trespassers. Oh. I'll need a golf kart for target refreshing.
Sorry, you missed the rarest one. Serial number 1 was sold at auction in 2010 for $80,000.I’d buy the rarest gun of all, Singer 1911, serial number S800501.
That's thinking a tad small--go ahead and get the full section, 40 acres, probably only US$5-8 million, which would leave a 'mere' $990 million.Buy a quarter section
Typically non-running examples with welded-up breeches.I'm not sure why the VFW's get to have tanks in their front yard.
For @Mark_Mark , at today's $2027 price for gold, a billion is 493,339 troy ounces, 33,829 pounds, 16 short tons.
Shaped like a Glock 17! didn’t say size of a Glock 17! wonder how big that would be?"Came across a billions dollars."
For a mental picture, that's 10 million hundred-dollar bills.
Or, 500,000 bundles of $2000 each (twenty c-notes each)
If we call the bundles 6 x 2.625 x 0.5, that's 7.875 cubic inches per each, 3.9 million cubic inches, 2278 cubic feet, call that 84 cubic yards of bills . . .
For a more practical measure, that's 15 feet x 15 feet x 10 feet of bills.

I billion would never be enough to buy a state full of representatives. I would hire someone to shoot for me. With that kind of money, who would have time to shoot.
I can't think of many current production guns I want let alone a billion bucks worth. 99% of them I wouldn't give a dime a dozen for.
Move to Arkansas and you can get a full section (640 acres) and enough change to build your house and range.Buy a quarter section build a small house and make a nice rifle-pistol range in my backyard. Fenced off to avoid harming trespassers. Oh. I'll need a golf kart for target refreshing.
But I can think of some I want. I wouldn’t want a billion dollar’s worth. My estimate was saying that for only $11,000,000 you could buy one of each new production guns. Not be king aware of Holland and Holland or guns made from meteors, I think the estimate would have to go up a little.
That said, a lot of models would be similar enough to the point of repetitive, and I wouldn’t want 90% of what would be available. If I could afford the custom shop version, why buy the base model?
Well, Glock alleges a G17 with magazine is 705 grams. Which is 22.66 troy ounces. That's US$50,010 at $2027/oz.Shaped like a Glock 17! didn’t say size of a Glock 17! wonder how big that would be?
Jezzzz! man! you did the math!Well, Glock alleges a G17 with magazine is 705 grams. Which is 22.66 troy ounces. That's US$50,010 at $2027/oz.
For a scaling factor, let's divide 493,339 by 22.66. That gives 21771x
Multiplying the 204mm length gives around 4441 meters, around 14,570 feet long, around 2.75 miles
Multiplying the 139mm height gives around 3026 meters, around 9928 feet, one and 8/10 miles
Mind the 16 tons of gold might put a dent in the world-wide supply projected to be 4533 tons in 2023.
I’m the rule maker and you can spend the Billion on anything with the letter G U N S & sometimes Y . in the wordWe really need more parameters on the stupidity of this thread for it to be effective. Can you only spend the billion on guns and weapons
or can we spend it any way we see fit on anything? Because I would spend it very differently if we didn't have to spend it all on guns and weapons.
My collection has been as high as 150 guns and to a point, it does become repetitive.

Get a larger custom home with bank type vault, and safe rooms and enough land for backstopped 100 yd shooting range. A couple more rifles and several handguns. Pay off kids Ed. loans and mortgages. Small gold and silver coins so when the shtf I won't have to spend an ingot for a loaf of bread. Hunker down for the Progressive, commie, Liberal Dems because they're going to keep on comming....
