My record was a MP40, M2 carbine, Thompson SMG, 1919 (don't know which specific model), BAR, and a Liberator pistol by the same lady back in'05 or '06.

Allegedly had a co work come to my house because I was the 'gun guy' with a full auto Sten that had been hidden away forever.
Allegedly. In Minecraft. Also, in Minecraft, I may or may not have found a working Mp40 in a family members dresser they had in the attic and pointed it out of the window at shit (because I was like 7) before it was noticed. Also, allegedly, it was NOT in the dresser a few days later when I, in Minecraft, went back to look. |

@mgwantob
Explain "ghetto rigged" to me. Is a functional machine gun or a SA POS? That said; a standard M60 parts kit sells for around $7K these days. |

There's a huge blend of Americans, and let's just say 30% are still "freedom at any cost" people. From there you really get interesting subcategories, from millionaires who want to own tanks and fighter jets to rednecks. And absolutely everything in between. "Freedom at any cost" can range from "I have the money to spend" to "I don't even know what the law is lmao" |

I met with a lawyer on Friday.
He is brokering a deal for a Model 1928 Tommy gun. I asked him how much. He said between $20,000 and $25,000 . I am half tempted. He did say it takes the drum magazines. |

We had a Japanese Type 99 LMG come in once. The guys father in law had just passed and they found it in his attic. He was a Seabee in WWII and brought it back from the Philippines. They could never find any paperwork on it. The receiver got torched and the parts sold off as a parts kit. It was only missing a few minor parts and the magazine. The finish was rough, which made sense being in an attic for 80 years. The coolest thing about it was a bunch of shrapnel damage on the receiver and stock. It was a shame but also very cool to see up close.
