What one gun....

[thumbtack]

What one gun would like to own but doubt you ever will due to price of gun?

If I ever win the lottery I will go out and buy the first full auto MP5 SD I can find, but that would be about the only way I just justify spending 12K on a firearm.

So what is your finically forbidden fruit?

 

[Balog]

Financially off-limits = Barrett M82
Legally off-limts = M79

 

[4v50 Gary]

Scoped Confederate Whitworth rifle. Only $25k a pop.

I would have to say a .50 cal B.A.R for vintage, if we're talking new that whole future tatical rig being tested for the military, digital display, night vision, point it around the corner and shoot from cover accurately..........................sorry had to wipe the drool off my chin!!!

 

[Amish_Bill]

Financially unavailable... I'd have to say an XM-177e

 

[tc300mag1]

Mp5 SD
A real fully auto tommy gun
And a orignal Colt Single Action Army

 

[hksw]

PSG-1

 

[Telperion]

Excepting full-auto, I'd say SR-25.

 

[Oleg Volk]

16" naval rifle. Costly to operate, too.
Of the smaller guns, PKM, Ameli, MG3 and RPD.
Of the practical choices, that P7M8 or (not really a gun) compact ACOG...lately, production tools like Mac gear and cameras are taking precedence.

 

[azrael]

M3 grease gun
B.A.R.
.45 thompson

.45 acp Luger ONLY $1,000,000!!!!!!!
Barrett 84M
Suppressed Walther p-22
Suppressed 10-22


sorry I couldnt just decide on one!!


and MANY MANY MORE!!!!

Uhhh, what? The Browning Automatic Rifle was chambered in 30-06. Are you thinking of the M2HB machine gun?

.45 acp Luger ONLY $1,000,000!!!!!!!

Not the one you're talking about, but if you want a .45 ACP Luger, Krausewerk out in California will sell you one for considerably less.

One of these...

A Holland & Holland Royal Grade SxS shotgun. For more details, see here. They start at $65,000 and go up from there...

Preacherman...

Yep, I could do that as well.

 

[Balog]

Wow. What kind of wood is that H&H stock made of?

 

[mgjohn]

Mini gun in 7.62 Nato.

 

[Preacherman]

Balog, I'd assume it's super-high-grade walnut - beautiful, isn't it? Here's another mouth-watering example from their Web site.

(Where's the drooling smilie when I need one? )

Another thing about H&H's wood: when you are fitted for your gun, you can personally select the stock blank you want to use. They will then put away the remainder of the stock blank, so that if you ever need to re-stock the gun (after field damage, or something like that) they can use the same wood that you previously chose, or can take a piece of it to repair your existing stock with matching grain and color. I'm told that they have stock blanks put away for most of their guns that they know to be in existence - some of them over 100 years old...

 

[azrael]

yea but the $15,000 knock off just doesnt appeal to me as well as the original

 

[Balog]

What a pronounced grain! That sure is purty.

 

[telewinz]

AUG 223 about $3500 but its just not worth 4 AR15's and a bank loan.

 

[goalie]

While that H&H shottie is nice, I myself would go for a nice, custom fitted 470 NE double rifle.

 

[Ala Dan]

an authenic 1928 .45 caliber Thompson sub gun

[SMLE]

Vickers Medium Machine Gun.
BREN Gun.
An original Pattern 1913 Rifle with a hooked quillion 1913 bayonet.
A 500 NE double rifle like the one Jack Holloway carried in H. Beam Piper's "Fuzzy" novels.
Thompson
BAR
Six M2 .50s and the F4U 1D to haul them around in.

 

[Preacherman]

Goalie, H&H make their double rifle in Royal Grade as well - see here for details and pricing. Some pictures:
