Really doesn't look like much value there other the M60, which is probably contraband. |

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" |

My favorite arfcom story was not mine, but I'll tell it from the OP post.
Redneck: BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM Arfcommer: Nice SBR. Redneck: Wut Arfcommer: That's a very nice short barreled rifle, I like your gun. Redneck: wut Arfcommer: never mind Redneck: Do u want 2 shoot it? Arfcommer: Yes. |

I'm pretty sure machine guns are medicinal.

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. |

Neat, in 22 years at the gun counter only NFA thing that ever walked in was one of these

If that turns out to be a transferable mg she didn’t know her husband had, she just threw away the proverbial mattress full of cash.

Quoted: Possible but probably unlikely especially considering the rest of his collection. Doesn't look like the sort of guns that go with a registered M60 if that is the total of his collection. But yes possible. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: so i ask the dumb question. how do you know it was not a legal transferable nfa m60. they do exist. Possible but probably unlikely especially considering the rest of his collection. Doesn't look like the sort of guns that go with a registered M60 if that is the total of his collection. But yes possible. There are people who got into MGs when they were cheap. I’ve seen people with nice rare guns and shitty cheap guns in the same collection. In 1976, a Saco/MaRemont M60 was $1410 to dealers before excise tax. https://www.1919a4.com/threads/the-cost-of-transferable-saco-defense-maremont-corp-m60s-prior-to-the-ban-photos.112312/ |

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.
