It has been pointed out to me that we don't have a sticky thread for these ... so, now we do! 
I'll start it out with a few of mine: My beloved Colt M16A1 with its DOE upper: 
Oly PAWS RR, now with a new owner: 
Cased commercial Reising, ordered by the Pittsburgh PD the day after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, to defend the city's steel mills (also with a new owner): 
Vector Uzi with LRM US9, paired with a Beretta 92 with LRM MAS:

Machineguns (and SBRs) can also be effective tools for hunting/animal control & dealing with trespassers/thieves/poachers/drug smugglers/varmints of all kinds: Below is my truck gun which will be passed on to the next generation when I am done:
This Colt 723 carbine lower with 10.3" MK18 upper is a very effective, compact package that sees hard use. The 70GR. TSX based 5.56MM Optimized brown tip X135 load shown will expand out to approx. 300yds. when fired from this weapon.

WEeelll, guess I should jump in here.
I have a wide variety of full autos from several countries. Been collecting them since I got my first MP 40 in about 1953. While I prefer WW 2 German I have a lot of others, mostly WW 2. Here are my heavies. Well I guess not. It seems that I can't find a way to do so on this board. Wierd set up here!!!

Well since that worked I'll see what happens with this one.
Here are my MP 40s - bottom 4 are all tube guns, 3 built on matching nr'd parts kits and new tube numbered to the parts. The top 5 are - top down: MP 38, MP 40s dated 1940, 41, 42 & 43. Still looking for a 44 & 45 to have all years for the 40. Next pic is my MP 43, 44 & Stg 44 guns and spare parts. Sarge Attached File Attached File |

The quality of the case went a long way toward selling me on it -- then doing an FOIA and discovering that it was the only cased example in a large batch ordered the day after Pearl Harbor, to protect Pittsburgh's steel mills, was the icing on the cake. It must have been the chief's, or someone else high up in the department.

Added both current and circa-1941 Pittsburgh PD shoulder patches off of eBay, and Frank I-can't-remember-his-last-name-either's wonderful Reising book. plus the FOIA letter. It was a 97-98% firearm in every way. A very, very, very good friend of mine, to whom I owned much, fell in love with it in 2006. He knew what I had in it, but he had to have it. He asked what I would take. In my mind I added up what I had in it, doubled it so he wouldn't buy it, and said, "$8,500." He pulled out his checkbook. I really, really didn't want to sell it. But he really, really, really wanted it that much, and since I had named a price and he met it, I let it go. He died a couple years later, but I know it was one of his most beloved possessions. Last I heard it was with a new owner in Md. I still miss it ... but if selling it to my buddy fulfilled a lifelong dream, I'm OK with that. |

Unfired Reising Model 50 with original box and accessories. According to the serial number it was built in 1957, the last year Harrington & Richardson manufactured these. H&R still had some Reisings in inventory when they went bankrupt and I suspect this gun was part of the liquidation when H&R's assets were sold off.

| Normally I'm not impressed by the reising but that is a pristine looking MG. Don't think I could ever bring my self to shoot it |
