[George P]

No nice over under shotguns?

OP here
update :
they also have M1A socom
Dan Wesson 357 Mag 715 Pistol Pack with 3 barrel lenghts
Sig Sauer MPX-C

if I would keep anything for myself that would probably be Dan Wesson revolver (they are selling it for $1950)
p.s. they will not order anything, only things in stock

 

[Outlaw75]

M1A with either walnut, black synthetic or flat dark earth synthetic will sell pretty darn quick.

 

[MosinT53Hunter]

M1A would be my suggestion.

 

[Meeks36]

Get the Dan Wesson and call it a day. Shoot the crap out of it. And give it to your kind folks when you pass.

 

[herrwalther]

Most expensive firearm they have in the store. Whether you like it or not. Sell it and use the cash to mix and match what you really want.

I'd keep the Dan Wesson also.
Not that it matters but what length are the barrels?

 

[Dudedog]

The Dan Wesson or he MIA would be my choice to keep or to try to sell.
(I would keep either, but probably the easiest to sell)

Congrats on the win.

 

[jonnyc]

If it was me, definitely one of the M1As. In your case, if you really like the DW revolver...get that!

 

[roval]

I'd get the dw pistol pack. it's closer to maximizing your $2000.

Too bad they don’t have an HK MP5. What a machine!

Two young Polizei carrying them casually walked past us a few days ago in the S-Bahn under the Stuttgart Airport. Walk softly, carry a big (or wickedly effective) stick.

Can you order the better semi-auto MP5 “build” for about $1400, similar to what some ‘start prices’ might be on GB?

OP here, are these winnings typically taxable?
meaning, if I get $2000 worth of firearm , should I put aside $400-500 for my tax bill in April 2020 ?

 

[Dudedog]

I have a nasty guess they are taxable. Remember the only sure things in life are death and taxes!
Gambling winnings sure are. But of course if you have enough winnings you can write off losses.
So all those non winning Lottery tickets that you bought and left laying around with your friends and co-workers should be able to be written off against winning whatever the value of the gun is. Make sure you save them in a box in case
(get a big box)
(Note: I did not stay at a Holiday in last night and I am not a Tax accountant so I quite likely could be wrong)

 

[Zaydok Allen]

Taxes? Hmm. Seems difficult to tax store credit which is what's really being offered. I suppose they could charge the sales tax on whatever is chosen. I would think the shop could write the value of the gun off on their taxes as a charitable donation.

But I'm not a tax guy and there's all sorts of loopholes.
