currently heard 10,000 20 rd mags are around and over 5,000 30 rd mag's...so seem's to be a glut for now.
so let's not be too hasty in spending another $100,000.00 plus for m.g's for the vault...
2006 doe's not look like any banner year.......and 2007 and 2008 with upcoming election's...simma down now simma down!!
wink!! for all of you who have what you want...great!
and the beat go's on.... t.c.ron

and i notice recon selling over 40 mg's right now...thats called over stock,or is it end of year house cleaning?? a few colt cased set's at say $50,000.00 each! this way i can make a few buck's so i can eat well.and pay the a.c.bill. as for the economy held together by the price of mac's...they only went up because of that r.p.d.top end flop!! and m-16'
s because of the srike..or whatever they are calling it now!!
and uzi's they are all over the place along with alot of post sample's and pre-sample's....remember if the law letter was not needed for the postee's.............they would go up by 100% since everybody want's a cheap shooter...
i know they probably sold a few s.u.v.'s at the dealer's today....however they are still sitting on another 100,000,000 to move out..
some state's might be a little better then some...i'm talking about the entire market.....not just a few sale's...
heck sometime's we have the same 12 guy's buying up the same gun's...new blood!! new gun's!! it just ain't happening.{ now of course we will have the post of the guy who bought his first thompson...}
i've played this market pretty well for 35 year's.sometime's better then the stock and bond market..and i'm sure everyplace now the real estate is just booming everyplace correct??
we sometimes hate to admit...we will be on a downturn for a short while..everybody i'm sure has a good stock of everything.........and the one's that don't they are trying to boost need,by making some wait.........try and buy a ps-90 from f.n.yet? or the upcoming sig rifle....even the upcoming fg-42 semi will have a demand..until supply is met...otherwise let's all have fun. wink! take care,ron

well daddy some have a mortgage,a few kid's in school,and maybe a car payment or two........{ not me!}and buying a rewatt i'm sure did not set you back alot??
and i'm sure you can afford to pop $50,000.00 for gun's...but will you spend another $50,000.00 this year?? wink! t.c.ron

Some guns that appreciated greatly cooled and even retracted a bit -- example: M16.
Some guns have been flat since 04 -- example: MP5s.
Other guns continued to increase -- example: Norrell 10/22.
28 Thompson have hovered +/- 20K for a while. But it's a flat market, and the few buyers willing to pay that kind of money for a 28 have already acquired one. So the guns sit for a while until a buyer happens along.
I personally have put a hold on buying any new MGs and am selling a few. I have a core of machineguns I love and don't care what happens to the price, but there are others that don't have a special love from me and are going on the block.

I think we saw a superheated period between 99-04 where prices shot through the roof. We no longer see those large percentage gains; those kind of gains are unsustainable over the long run. That's not to say since 2004, prices have not been stable. Some guns that appreciated greatly cooled and even retracted a bit -- example: M16. Some guns have been flat since 04 -- example: MP5s.

yep people that have what they want already are happy,and if they paid a little below the current market even happier yet...those that kinda got stung in last few year's havea ways to go........it's much nicer to have around $6,000.00 into a m-4 then say $20,000.00 and it's easier to cash out when you spent $6,000.00 then $20,000.00
heck even better yet have a post for a grand,shoot the heck out of it.and you can get the money back.........however shoot the heck out of that $20,000.00 m-16 and try, because most want pretty new in box for that price.or untouched in poly bag...not some 16 that went to the range.attended 40 gun show's and was fondled....i just love when i read the ad's hardly used minty new cond.with some rust or ding's or missing one part...
or the new in box.however range tested less then 1,000 rd's..
or that mag-58 only used 20,000 rd's just broken in..will run another 200,000 or so..everybody i have met that want's a m240 or old mag-58.. want;s new cond.for that big buck outlay.....and don't let anybody say they don't...if they do i have some boat anchor's they can buy.{only dropped once}
h&k's are all over the place. overated.and pricey...had all the model's and almost found myself wanting to buy a psg-1.........glad i came to my senses again..
and had those h&k ump'45'and the g-36's.flashy however bored real quick!! and my last p90.now it's seeing some shooting by some dealer in the desert.
not my cup of tea for a near buck a round to shoot..
the old ss190 ammo price..
yep alot of price's will freeze soon on stuff..some will increase. with a new movie.or video hit....or somebody mention's this is the one to get... my latest new [dream] toy, the f.n.2000 with 40mm launcher.. however i am finding out the ole colt m-4 with a lmt 40mm will probably just do the same old thing..{put the rounds exactly on target!}
it's fun to watch it all happen.....no taker's on those $25,000.00 1928 model's..
maybe at $15,000.00 somebody could risk it,and make a few buck's...however at $10,000.00 more per copy..the risk is gone.and you are buried in it. till the next king kong pic is out.or "gangster's on a holiday" wink!
however this still is a fun bizz...and that is the way it was always supposed to be..when you start countin those $$$$..........and start to worry...it's not so much fun anymore..
maybe thats why so many ask.did i get a fair shake??what's it worth??how much should i pay??and if i get screwed and buy it? can i screw the next guy into making him think he's getting a deal??when i gotta bailout of the sun/beetch!
oh wait.thats in the current tell all class three manual for begginer's..and whiner's..and those who think they know the market and bought that little baby on emotion..
however we would never do that> for we are the champion's.........we are the champion's.bohemian rapp/sodee!!
everybody stay healthy and safe.
what happened to the bird when we need him most??
take care,ron

and late breaking new's.at the show today a old vet who i know had a johnson para carbine rifle in semi -auto,in really great shape.i have never seen one of these shortie's before.
he was not selling it just looking for part's,it was in exc.cond. and the story was it was one of five sent to the marine's for acceptance, { he must have had 20 people ask you gonna sell that???}there is still hope for rarity........

Twin Madsen SMG's from the movie The Challenge for like 19 K or something like that. I remember 6 months ago when another seller had them for 11K.
A transferable Portuguese AR10 that I had work hard to sell for 8500 four years ago, he wants 37,500 for.

And of course two 90% 1921AC's from PD's in repro cases (Greg's I'm guessing) with NY L drums and 4 patent date mags for 35K each.
The Maremont M60's for 35-45 K are what are making my head spin.

We'll see Colt M16s at 15,000 by the end of this year. Why?
- 8 million new customers in Michigan
- American 180 drum upper
- Lakeside LM-22 belt fed .22 upper
We'll also drop in sears at similar price levels. They can't be found now, if you do it's a $12,000 price.
RR M16s will be a sold 11K by the end of the year too.

alot of green for a sheet of paper...wink!! and michigan maybe a new 100 buyer's.the economy there is not that great...and once all the new guy's find out how much to enter class three i bet most just stay semi-auto...maybe ten year's ago they would have enjoyed it now in 2006 not soooo much!!
will see very soon i'm sure........they will sell a few gun's.....but it's not going to be like 87/88 frenzy and the late 90's boost.....everybody enjoy it....it's only a hobby, t.c.ron

Not just the sucking economy with Ford, GM and their vendors chopping heads. 8,000,000 people but a majority of them voted in a Democrat Gov.
Kinda hope I'm wrong. Would be nice to grow the machine gun community, maybe convince some ranges to open up to allow full auto firing.
We'll see.
