Sold for $1,769.44. So I would have had to bid like $1800 and assuming no one bid again, the shipping and transfer fee would have me just shy of $1900. Ouch, no thanks.
I think the itch has been scratched for the time being

I shot one back in 1989. The smile still hasn't left my face.

Before I die this will be mine, don't know when, don't know how, not even sure why! But I will own one!

He's not human. (5) shots in .8 second; from a 50 AE, starting at low ready.

Jerry has a grip like a steel bear trap. Unreal.
That compensator is actually part of the barrel, shaves off a couple of pounds I’ve heard. It might not seem like much but that really helps the restoring forces on that honking slide for those insanely fast follow up shots.

The original Wildey company went out of business a while back, USAFirearms started making them a year or two ago and made a few improvements as well.

Ammo is a tad expensive, $100/50. Not sure if older or newer is better, don't care. I will have one. The one Charles Bronson used in DW3 was his personal gun.

Did some quick research and you can handload for the .475 Widley mag. I didn't think components would be available for that caliber but they are. Seems there is a cult following still for the .475 Wid. I love the challenge of handloading experimentation, so maybe as I near retirement a 10" .475 Wid will be on my list to own. Chuck would be proud !
It is amazing what is out there. You can get components for anything. The hardest part is usually brass for obscure or very old cartridges, but even for those you can find info online on what to trim.
Primers and bullets are the easy part.
Since it is gas operated, does this gun run into the same issue the DE runs into with lead bullets.

Hand loading is precisely what Bronson does in the movie. In many action movies you see the main character saw off the barrel of a shotgun, in less you see the characters threading a barrel for a silencer. This is one of the only action movies I can think of where you see the main character make hot hand loads and teach everyone in the neighborhood how to do it. Pretty cool.

Has he bought one yet? Cmon, its New Year's already.
No I’m going to pass for now lol. Though it’s tempting to put the $600 stimulus check towards one
I don’t want to be driving myself crazy trying to get a $2000 gun to shoot reliably. Big gamble buying one off GunBroker without ever seeing it in person or shooting it

WELCHER!
There has to be a public, indoor range in eastern Mass, RI, or NH where there's one available to rent. I'm also sure the guys on here who said they have one wouldn't mind introducing you to both a .44 and a .50.
Personally, I don't see the appeal. I would rather own a NFA-registered machine gun over a DE. If I'm going to piss money away, I might as well piss money away while laughing my ass off in a pile of brass.
