Quality over quantity every single time.
Well... as the saying goes, I've never slept with a 10, but one night I had five 2s.

.... One guy with a belt-fed shot 6,000 rounds of .308 in two days. Yes, they are in a much higher tax bracket than me.
Please advise where this treasure trove is located in 2021 where you can reload .308 for $0.25 or buy surplus .308 for $0.23?
It IS,, and they are no more complicated than a semi-auto to manufacture. The fact that they have been priced out of the ordinary market, is an INFRINGEMENT by Itself. Would NEVER have gotten so ridiculous, with out Government Infringement. If ANYTHING is going to limit their ownership, it will be the cost of feeding one.Simple question.
Are people taking loans out? Saving long term? Selling a ton of stuff to buy one thing?
I'm not talking a $5k Mac. I mean like a Thompson, M16, belt fed stuff. The class 3 guns that get really costly.
I know some people are just wealthy so it's less of a thing but folks in that position don't constitute all NFA owners. But for guys such as myself (I do decently, pay the bills with extra and live well below my means) that much money for something full auto seems unachievable in my life time.
....The prices only go up...never go down. I look at as high-risk....because one signature on one piece of paper....and the AFT is kicking in your door, shooting your dog and taking your $$$. $65K for a Thompson and have my name on the top 1% of the Federal hit list? No thanks.
....MGs are like boats, being the hole in the water you throw money into. No, we don't NEED them,
...and the chances of being faced with an army of zombies or libtards rushing toward us with murderous intent, is more remote than winning the billion dollar Power Ball.
..... My other fondest desire is a real 1918 A-1 BAR. I would settle for an A-2, but an A-3 imitation is not even a consideration. The "government" has ruled this piece as off limits, even though the "government" has used it in three and a half wars. They claim the problem with it, is because it fires from an open bolt. SO WHAT ???
First, I ask Ammo Jon to do the negotiating.
Then I swipe a credit card. My kids don't need me to pay for their college, right?
FA is on my 15 year plan, after paying off the house, building a detached garage, and probably parking a Hellcat Red Eye into said garage.
There is always Community College! :-P
A lot of guys get a MG before college, have their fun with it and then sell it to help pay for college...
MG buyers are serious guys with serious money. If you need to sell a MG, you can do so in an hour or less if you are willing to let it go at market rate.
A few years back, a friend called. He knew someone with a MG42. He had sold the MG42 for $20k but the buyer was not coming up with the money. He asked if I wanted it, should the buyer not produce the cash in the next few days. I had about $4-5K in the bank. I thought real hard for about 3 mins and told him yes, I would figure out where to get $15k later but I would take it! Of course he past the word back and the seller told the 1st buyer and he had the money to him the next day. This is a $40K gun. I am not going to let a problem of where to get $15K stop me from getting a $40K gun at half price. If I really could not figure out how to keep it, I could just resell at a $20K profit. The point is, how often have you decided to spend $20K from not ever having thought about it, to yes in 3 mins? I am an Engineer... we don't do impulse buying... but you can always turn MGs into cash pretty quickly by just dropping it slightly below market rate.
