What would you get?



I think I would get something historical, like a really nice condition WW1 Colt 1911, or perhaps a Revolutionary War-era muzzle-loader (if one can be found for that price).

A shotgun that's fitted and works great for any of the clay target games.  There's a left hand Beretta DT11 at Collector's for the low-low price of $9100...  Granted, they'll drop 20% for Black Friday and Collectors isn't where you go for a bargain, but still...

Against the rules, but....

A precision .308 rifle with a Nightforce or US Optics scope and an "L" Suppressor from Thunderbeast or similar, on a sturdy bipod. Full cerakote job.

I really want one of the Danish contract handguns, but I am always too cheap to buy one.



The one with skis. I’ve had a thing for them for the better part of a decade.


That would be such a cool conversation piece, even if it probably would not get used much.  

It would definitely cost an arm and a leg to feed if you used it regularly, but certainly no worse than the two horses sitting in my back yard eating money and pooping work.

Lots of cool suggestions in this thread.  I would look for an SP5 with an SD conversion.  It is the coolest toy I can think of that I would be able to afford to shoot the crap out of.

SBR it, add a stock, drop in a binary trigger, and spend my life savings on mags and ammo.

This double rifle,

Or this one.

In 2001, I bought my SWD M11/9 for $975. I was newly married with 3 month old twins so spending more was, unfortunately, out of the question. Looking back I should have maxed out a credit card and bought 8 more. Oh well, live and learn..


I've since picked up a Lage Max11 Mk2 and a bunch of 30 and 50 round Shockwave Zmags for it and the upper is an absolute game changer.
Just need an optic.

Barret M82A1, without a doubt.

Got to shoot 20rds down a buddies a few weeks back. Absolute pleasure to shoot. Has shocking low recoil.

Its a tough price point honestly.

I suppose something of the full auto genre.

i doubt you can pick up an M16 or DIAS for those prices any more, huh?  

How about an MP5 trigger pack?

I know someone who had one a few years ago before they banned them in Canada.
I believe it was another victim to a boating accident.

Anyone remember the Brinks robbery which used an L39 Lahti?
