You seem to be here bragging about your most recent purchase every few
months

BTW I always wondered how well the prices held up on those gold inlaid
commemorative specials you see in the NRA magazine. They tend to be
about $1500 more than the stock gun. There is a Thompson there this
month for $3100, vs a new one from AO for $1500 + $300 for the drum)
I assume it is like Harry's Elvis plates


I had no idea my small assortment of firearms was supposed to "inspire
awe" in anyone, let along the rocket scientists here on .wrecked.bloats.
I mostly buy pretty standard, run-of-the-mill firearms that I enjoy
shooting. There must be a zillion Mini-14s extant, and even more S&W
revolvers and lots and lots of Henry rifles in various calibers.

You do wax on about these "run of the mill" guns


A semi-auto Thompson submachine gun? What's the point?

Dunno but I assume the premium would just be the collectability of the
gold one. I was curious about why someone would want a SA Thompson,
unless it was just for the uniqueness of the design.
I do wish I had bought a real one when they were around for a couple
grand. They are up in the "nice new car" range now (probably more than
you paid for your truck). The M1s are cheaper than a real 1921 Colt
"Thompson". The last time I looked you could get an M1 for $15k and
the commercial ones were more like $40-45k. That is far more return
that I got from my 401k.
