I reeeeeally want that MAS 38.... but then I remember that 32 French Long hasn't been made in quantity for 50ish years.

They had a good one last year also.

I will be back in the area visiting family during it, may have to brush off my bidders info and go on over.

Auctions over there are awesome even if you don't buy anything, just being able to see some rare items in person makes it cool

Hmmm.... I'll take the MPL, the FG42, the Stoner 63 and an M14.

That dual 1919 would be sweet.

I would really like that Stoner.

Hmm Stoner or retirement???

Does SGammo sell 20mm?

That's going to be the deal breaker for me if they don't.

I wonder if or when we might see any of Kokalis' extensive collection becoming available. I know zero about who or what entity may in line to inherit his collection, but this sparked the thought.

Anyone know a good realtor?

I think I'll be able to find some member who'd take me in with a few MGs.

Three of my top five machine guns in one auction.

I just want the Walther.

Wow, I want that tommy gun, and the grease gun, and the M-14, and the ma deuce .

I've been working saturdays, no problem

Still no machine guns in Iowa. Which is probably just as well. The ammo budget alone would bankrupt me.

RIA is an interesting outfit. The guy that founded it isn't a gun guy. He simply saw a business opportunity and jumped in. He has lots of gun guys working for him, but he is something of serial entrepreneur;

Order one of their catalogs. There are a first rate reference book in the own right.

It's too bad the overlords in IL deny the common subject the right to own full auto.

Last auction (I think), they had a pretty nice Lewis gun (WITH a mag) that was pretty reasonably priced/estimated - the pre-auction estimate was around $17K. I think there was something about it that made it less desirable to collectors.

Japanese Hotchkiss captured from Kwajalein? Wasn't that the site of one of their prison camps? I seem to remember reading about it in Unbroken.

RIA is pretty good on their pre-sale estimates. They've seen everything.

So, $1300 a minute? Assuming you don't reload. And 1300 rounds of 30.06 is a lot of reloading.

OK so what rich gun collector recently died? That is one hell of a collection!

RIA usually have a lot of cool NFA stuff in their "Premium" auctions (which is twice a year, IIRC).

I wouldn't mind having one. It's a mystery to me why the army couldn't make this work on full auto yet the .30-06 BAR performed like it was supposed to. I guess the M14 was just too light to handle full auto recoil.
