I hate to be the fudd, but I'm more interested in if they think that air crewman they have pre-listed in the pictures is a fake/repro or not.

I have always wanted an Oerlikon after first seeing that old Clark Gable movie "Soldier of Fortune." He had one mounted on the lower deck of his private boat.
I wouldn't mind the Stoner and the Winchester M14 either. |

Since no one has spoken for it, that ma deuce will go home with me.
Then I'll sell a heart/lung combo to afford it........ |

I wanted the Walther. Until I saw the Johnson.
What...why are my pants wet? Oh my. Oh no. |

RIA is usually at the big reno gun show looking for bidders as well as consigners. Their display always has incredible guns and I always make a point to stop by and drool.

Anyone been to one of these auctions?
I live roughly 3 hours away and would like to go and check it out for those 3 days. Im not going to bid on anything, just watch. Is there an entry fee, allowed in if im not bidding? Didnt see anything on the website about that. |

So. Much. Want.

So, $1300 a minute? Assuming you don't reload. And 1300 rounds of 30.06 is a lot of reloading. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Those are AN/M2 aircraft .30's - they shoot approx 1350rpm each..... So, $1300 a minute? Assuming you don't reload. And 1300 rounds of 30.06 is a lot of reloading. That just made me so depressed. |

What a small world we live in!
I'm pretty jealous of that piece. |

Do want. Sooo bad. http://14544-presscdn-0-64.pagely.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/twin-aaa-mount-30-caliber-m1919-ria.jpg View Quote Those aren't 1919's...they are ANM2's....1919's specially modified for aerial use, lighter weight, light air cooled barrels...parts are worth way more than regular 1919 parts, and on an actual Navy twin mount, like used on the SBD Dauntless and others... That is super cool, I bet they go for a mint! |

At least now I'll know who to call if I ever get tired of it. Actually, it's pretty interesting, and I like it a lot - but the unavailability of mags is a bit frustrating. |

Well, I didn't see any prices but I'm guessing bids will start in the five figures for the belt-fed machine guns.

Yeah IIRC two Premiere auctions ago there was a Type 99 (Jap) MG that sold well below market, think around $7k. Either it fell between FGs and 63s or nobody wanted it. Had I known I prob would have bid but those mags are practically half of the value of the MG.
I got lucky with the Mg42. I was cash rich and just out of college. Now I'm a broke finance grad student with an Mg42. |
