BillinBama Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 That gun is up to $20,000 now, expected to go for $30-40K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APEXgunparts Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 Being a documented USMC 1941 LMG I expect it will go a lot higher than $40K. A 1941 rifle documented to USMC service is a $22K gun. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 The last documented one went under 40K not all that long ago. This one has "issues" so I don't expect it to go much above 40 if at all? Of course it's an auction.....anything can happen? The market for semi rilfes is exponentially large, while the MG market/ players is tiny.....even though it's not? There are a LOT of high end collectors that are pretty ignorant and fortunately stay away from the MG market.... for now, thus MG's are substantially underpriced based on their historical provenance and relative scarcity IMO.

Apparently several people wanted to have that gun in their collection. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 Had to be 2 Marines....doing what Marines do? Fortunately I have enough....mine all work, and have all the parts. Might have to "issue" it to my dad who's one of the few, the proud and see if it gains any provenance? That would be north of 70K all in to get to my neighborhood. Will have to check out all the completed's to see what went crazy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
