flawed data. MG's are legal in WI, WA, CA, MA, CT, and AR. They are also legal in most of the other states with specific licensing, so it can be done, but it can be substantially more work. Some of the states are a lost cause, but we did pick up full ownership in MI years ago and KS, so there were actual gains. Not sure the folks in American Samoa care much about NFA firearms? Might be easier there than CA? Purchase price on everything is important. My nephew bought a house 14 months ago at the peak and it has continuously lost value ever since. It could be 10 years before he breaks even? I saw a LOT of houses sell in 2007 and not break even until 2018. Perhaps you or your pension plan was a bond holder in General motors in 2009? Government stepped in and wiped you out. Or maybe you owned gold in the 30's? And then you weren't. Or you had a restaurant in 2021, and government killed it? Or had a government job and you got fired with no compensation for not being part of a chemical trial experiment based on falsified data? Difficult to predict what government will do?

If you look at total stock market returns, you'll find MG's actually do very well post 86' sort of like the stock market post 87 . If you are going to single out small, highly overvalued specific indexes like S&P500 that may be different? Course unlike GM stock and others, MG owners will never get gov. bailouts....so there's that which artificially props up most of the stock markets. Then there's the whole fakeness of stocks. If they don't like you buying gamestop, they freeze your money because all of the markets/stocks are actually owned/run by private companies with little or no oversight and they can cut you off at a split seconds notice. Just small fish, big fish get fed and have different trading rules and trade 24/7 while you do not, the little guys are baitfish. Ask yourself, do you get first round on IPOs or would you be 3rd or 4th tier later in the day? Here's overall Nasdaq charts https://www.macrotrends.net/1320/nasdaq-historical-chart None of this covers fee's, taxes, etc. which deduct substantially from your stock investment. After a 30 minute discussion with a guy who worked the floor for 15 years, I doubt I will ever buy any stocks again? I've been sticking to tangible assets for quite a few years now, and that includes MG's among other things. The "fun factor" is impossible to put number on....but it's really high IMO

The book is free relative to the amount of information in it that you cannot get anywhere else. If you have one of these style guns, you'll learn a LOT more about it. If you are pondering a gun purchase, you could save thousands by knowing what to look for after getting educated.

Oh no, I'm totally confused I bought a fake rolex and with the savings bought a colt M16 (back in the day when the M16's were 5K, same as a rolex). After that I bought a Sendra......then with the savings on that, got a couple shrike uppers for it. I admit I only wore the rolek a couple times, but I shoot the Sendra more than the colts. Not sure what that does to my psychological profile? Get what you can get and what suits your needs, every option is a better option than not having any? They are all pretty adaptable to however you want to configure them. They all shoot the same and from 10 feet you can't tell a colt from a Sendra.

That's a cool one. I'm cut off at 2 trainers since they take up space for real guns that I'm now short on. A lot of them did end up in dumpsters....and the divers came....fortunately, and recovered a number of them. About half the stories I hear, these and other things were on the way out to the trash. AFAIK they all had some type of transit chest of which I've seen one 1919 and one BAR chest. The magic number seems to be 2X on all of them. Now you just need some links and ammo, because all of them do cycle the plastic rounds they came with. Often there was a manual detailing how to tear it down for storage as well. Then you have the wall charts, etc. It's a deep rabbit hole!

Nice lewis pan. Functionally 100% rotates freely, no dents or out of round. Some areas of light pitting as seen in the photos. Could be cleaned up and touched up cosmetically. Looking for a Russian Molot AK drum for trade credit. or other rare and unique MG accessories, but as always cash is king.

Says its for use only by dealers, importers, and manufacturers to present or model to government agencies, that's it. These would be all SOT's as outlined in above definitions in the 68 gca I linked to. If you make a post sample today and sell it to a gov. agency, in 2 years it does not become transferable regardless of what the color on eforms says. Lot 1007 was a pre-may MP5 turned transferable at murphys last week.....it got mysteriously withdrawn, but all the info is in the catalog page as to what it "was" then became transferable, then not for sale? I still hold out the possibility there may be some rule change written somewhere, but so far no one has seen it that I am aware of? It may even be buried somewhere in a recent congressional budget bill/law or recent lawsuit? Maybe a Pre-may bump stock or pre-may glock switch ruling? LOL

I have a letter too......from congress https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-82/pdf/STATUTE-82-Pg1213-2.pdf Page 18 says this Until there is another letter/ act drafted by congress or an amnesty provided for and publicly disclosed/announced in the above act I'd say you've now been notified and if you sell something you were told by a rogue agency is transferable to individuals and later deemed not to be so, you'd be facing a civil lawsuit that you'd most likely lose? I don't think the color on your e-forms account is going to be a viable defense? Anyone file an FOIA request asking for the information on the rule change or at least the court case that may have precipitated a rule change by a court? And if there is a rule change it would likely apply to all pre-may dealer samples as outlined in the screenshot above, not just those with special stamps? And that rule change would need to be announced with public commentary, etc.? Maybe this is just the beginning of another complete amnesty period by the current Harris administration? To add a note, in the auction last week lot 1007 was withdrawn. Might just be a coincidence, but it was a "new" transferable MP5.

I respectfully disagree. It is our generation pushing them and ours also IS BLM. You don't see the older commies out front on the streets rioting, but I assure you they are in the back room organizing and fundraising. The masked tools burning and looting you see on TV are just tools of the organization. Some are paid by boomer puppetmasters and some are just there free for the ride while their parents are paying their bills while they protest and riot, but that's boomers too enabling. Every big city in America is full out anarchy at this point by design, not accident. There are no rules, period. I see it almost daily when I go in to work. I also work at a LOT of schools and if people had any idea what went on at most schools on a daily basis they would be in shock. And these kids are just coming online.....just wait and see what's coming! Again.....all by design. I would not be shocked to find out Soros ordered a container of glock switches to be distributed in the cities and the FBI escorted the container out of customs. 10% for the big guy!

I have a WTB out for a gun and he responds and emails me pics of a gun that I coincidentally know the current owner........and it ain't him! It's this guy working on building a profile to fly under the radar.

Sorry, like many others here, I have a day job that takes precedence over gun sales. Yesterday was a 14+ hour day and I don't sit at a desk or in a shop with 100% cell service. Normally deals are followed up via pm. You also may be shocked people go on vacation, etc. and don't respond immediately? Fortunately I've never been called a deadbeat buyer, but as for being called a dead beat seller......I guess I'm OK with it? Gun is still available.
