    Okay, it was a private range and an NFA shoot; but, the MG42's rate of fire, experienced first hand, blew my mind. I gained an whole new insight as to what those fellas who crossed those beachs June 6th, 1944 faced.

    My wife told me when we married 40 years in a month I could have anything but another woman. I never understood that wanted 2 or more. That was the best deal I could ever get & I've taken her up on it for 40 years, gunshop, Full machine shopguns, planes, hunting camps, scuba & skydiving, motocross, etc, etc. If you buy it right you can use it & make a bit when you sell it. Tried to teach my sons that & you can learn from anyone, what to do & what not to do. It never took.

    Can't say I've ever seen anything ultra rare. I've seen special editions or one year only variants of different firearms. Worth a bit, but as they look like their peers for the most part, not what I'd consider rare.

    My wallet fears the day I see a Johnson rifle in person, up for sale.

    I saw a Johnson rifle at the gun show last weekend in Terre Haute. A guy was carrying it around. He wanted 7k. Maybe worth it, maybe not, but I didn’t investigate further.

    3-4 is as high as I would go. But pristine examples I could certainly see. 7k it would have to be pretty correct I would think, but inflation is hitting so fast it's hard to say.

    I’ve seen and shot some neat ones. I think the rarest I’ve got to play with would be a transferable Beretta M12. There are a few post samples in country but only a vet fee that are transferable. It was a sweet shooter!

    My wildcat deer rifle from forty years ago.
    There's only one and I still have the chamber reamer.
