What's the most over-priced gun?
- Thread starter jasons

It's because the barrel is still a gigantic slab of stainless. that's probably 60% of the weight of the rifle.
The shittiest part about that gun is that they went through ALL that crap to make a titanium gun and they couldn't even be bothered to make the upper monolithic.

THis^ I know some folks love those commoritave guns but I can't justify a fire arm that is going to sit in a glass case and never be used. Any gun I buy will be shot. Saw a ww2 commorative M1 garand in a shop a few months ago......$3500 never been fired in a glass case......what a shame.

This as well^
I like the mini 14 and want one.....but the prices are stupid for what they are.
This is one of those times where it would great to have stupid money. Because I'd be buying a bunch of those guns (regardless of cost) and then taking them out and shooting them. The conversations alone would be hilarious.
Seller: "This is one of a kind 1 of 5 model, serial number 1, never been fired, blah blah blah..."
Me: "Well, I'm buying it.. and I'm firing it, today- gonna fire an entire case of ammo through it. And there's not a damned thing anyone can do about it. "
Seller: "You're going to WHAT???"
I would get great pleasure in destroying this "worth more if unfired" douchebaggery. That's so ****ing aggravating. It's like- If you bought it to NOT shoot it ever, then just buy a picture of it instead, or a well made non-functioning model of it, and let someone else shoot "it."

You have to make sure you mention that you'll be putting it back in the safe uncleaned.

If I had lots of extra cash, I'd buy one of those WWII commemorative bright nickel-plated 1911's and carry it, shoot the hell out of it, and generally beat on it just to piss off those who would be pissed off by such a thing.
Damn what a nice looking pistol though huh?

I don't think they're all that much. I've seen less than perfect examples of the ETO version sell on here for a good bit under $1500.

Doing a little research I found guys on other forums (in free states of course) finding these guns slightly used and fired for anywhere from $650 - $1000. I would pay $650 for a used and dinged up specimen. The trick would be to make sure an out-of-state seller would have no problem shipping one to me on my C&R since they are eligible.

Lately I've really, really, really wanted a Model 36 and they've seemingly shot up in price to $500, $450 if you're really lucky. I still want one though, it's been one of my must-haves for a while and the desire is too strong now. I specifically want the post-flat latch, pre-lock ones though so it limits my market a tad.

The single shot .50 bmg like grizzly ones etc .
There around 1500$ + and you can make one for around 500$ or less. That 500$ includes the amount of smoke and fast food I'd eat and smoke over a week end building lol .
100$ for a mossberg barrel 150$ worry of metal for the bolt and barrel extension and a off the shelf pipe for the receiver.

HK 416 upper (my grail rifle), normally HK would screw us by charging 2k for just an upper, but instead they simply refuse to sell it in the US (they have a factory so it's not an import issue).
So, the kits on the market (mostly from cops), run around 5K for an upper. Quite over priced IMHO.

The mr556 isn't chrome lined, has a different profile, and yup, isn't 10.5
This upper went for over 4k in 2011

Fair enough . I didn't read to much about them . The only hk I like is the ump .
I'll add
Ps90 that is over priced . Ammo is over priced and if your stuck with 10 rd mags it's even more stupidly over priced.
And any thing in .45gap

Most pre-ban stuff. $30 for a 20rd mag manufactured two decades ago is nuts. Glocks for $800 and $50 for old mags is terrible. I feel bad for MA residents. Don't have those issues in NH.
