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. |
