I bought a nice Wilson tube gun from Ruben the middle of March. The stamp should come in the next 4 weeks. $12,995 plus sales tax. As I am a FL resident I had to pay a goofy flat $50 Dade county tax on all purchases over $7,000. It's nice to able to take time and inspect the weapon before purchase and have 60-90 minutes of time with the dealer for questions and general BSing.

Maybe post some pictures when you get it and a range report.

C&R being an original German gun? Trying to get my head around the pricing on these. Tube guns are 10-14k and C&R are 14 to 18k right now??? I just took procession of a Dewat bring back on a form 5.

 

Yes, and those prices seem about right to me. I would say a higher range on the C&R guns, especially nice ones.

Don't know about the other gun but I'll leave some photos and a range report on my purchase.

After eight months the tax stamp finally arrived at Rubens store. I got the MP40 and an additional gun (an American 180) yesterday along with a new President. What a great day! A Wilson tube gun that looks to be in very nice condition with almost no apparent use. The NICS check required 2 hours so we had quite a while to shoot the bull. The guy with the appointment after me was picking up 34 machine guns. If anybody out there lives in south Florida please advise ranges available for full auto other than the States range. Additionally, if there is well tested reloading data for this weapon it would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the 43 ayf I picked up from Ruben. I've been wanting one since I was a kid, I wish my grandpa was around to see it, he brought back a Luger and later traded it for a shotgun. I remember one of his stories about a Luger he carried across France only to have it stolen when he was in the hospital during the Battle of the Bulge and replaced with a flare gun when the rig was given back to him when he was discharged. He was still mad about it when he told me the story in the 70's. Now waiting on the paperwork to go through. And yes I shot it, first time shooting a machine gun, it felt great. When I shoot it again I will have all my spares in it for safeties sake. I didn't intend on shooting it when I saw it but the dealer slid a box of ammo across the counter and smiled, I couldn't resist, ran great. A big thank you to Ruben who contacted me every time one showed up at his shop and I bugged him about when the next one would arrive, very nice man to work with.
