Gold bar to get machinegun

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Gold bar to get machinegun (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 1/13/2019 12:49:54 AM EDT

I have been wanting to buy a 9mm MAC machine gun for quite awhile but my wife has been against it - apparently I have too many guns already (no NFA though). Recently when it came up again, my wife said (probably jokingly) that if I get her a gold bar I can get a machine gun. I didn't enquire too much further into the matter (because I think getting a gold bar will not be difficult and don't want her to retract the offer) but I think her point was that machineguns appreciate for reasons similar to gold (scarcity and market changes, as opposed to stocks where you are getting a portion of a business that is working for you creating things - Warren Buffets same objection to gold investing).

Anyway, so the question becomes - which gold bar should I buy? It turns out that there are many different small gold bars available online - basically with brand names. It looks like the 1g bars (must be tiny) are quite a bit off from the spot price but the 1oz bars are pretty close. I'm not really interested in a major gold investment, but I don't want to overpay either. Is there a specific brand that is best known or can be turned in for cash directly (as opposed to for scrap value like teeth or old jewelry)? Is there a best accepted brand? I see bars from the canadian mint and some swiss mint called pamp and a bunch of others.

Coins like the old Krugerands people kept probably make the most sense because they come from an official source, but I need a bar.

Just buy a Gold Eagle 1 oz bar.
ETA: Huh, I thought they came in bars too. Well, just get her a 1 oz coin. Better than a bar since it has numismatic value.

Het a raw gold bar. Because they look like legit treasure gold.

Yeah, why not? A 10 oz gold bar is in the range of 13,000 dollars, similar to a lower end machine gun.

The twenty ounce bars are a size that it starts to feel impressive.

That said the smaller 2 to 5 ounce ones are easier to exchange.

Just get her a gold plated lead bar. It'd be like 20 bucks and she wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Buy from a trusted seller. There's actually fakes with tungsten rods in them. Also "certified fakes" encased in plastic. Use a major company like apmex.

The MG grows faster in value than gold. So buy His and hers MG's and be done with it. If I knew now what I know about Mac's I would have bought tons more Powder Springs Mac's years ago. Do it now OP.

ETA: You don't have enough guns if you don't have any NFA items!

Pamp Suisse are my favorite ones. They make everything from 1 gram up to well over a kilo.

My goal is to own a kilo bar. 32.15 oz. Theyre not cheap.

You have more MG money if you paint some lead gold

I'm betting she means a standard gold bar, not one of those trinkets.

It was her way of saying "when pigs fly"

If she's serious, you would need a minigun with an aircraft attached to be fair.

"The standard gold bar held as gold reserves by central banks and traded among bullion dealers is the 400-troy-ounce (12.4 kg or 438.9 ounces)"

Does it have to be real?

Even best quality movie prop gold bars are relatively inexpensive.

I'm sure that is what she was envisioning. But its not what she said. I think a 1oz bar would be a good compromize between practical and those 1g bars that must be just a bar shaped bit of gold foil.

Just buy a bump stock .The gloverment says they are machine guns now.

Yeah real is probably better. I figure I only have one chance to say - here is your gold bar - and oh I just submitted a form 4.

This is tempting. A sort of real looking candy gold bar. That might work.

fuck the gold. Machineguns will likely NEVER go down.

You could always just buy the MG and sell a lesser gun from the collection. If the argument was that you have to many guns already....there is a loophole.

You should sell your membership to show how much more valuable it is than some useless gold bar or MG. That'll teach him.

Here is how I’m planning on doing it... bought semi uzi... sold semi uzi... f/a uzi bought.. f/a uzi home...

Of course I don’t have a shared bank account and the wife doesn’t know my safe combo. If my wife ever told me that, I would buy her a bar of silver and spray paint it gold.

Thats a pretty smart strategy. Maybe one of those masterpiece arms MACs becomes a FA MAC.

Bring her something gold colored every week. "Is this it"?

Might take awhile, however eventually she tell you to just buy the damn MG.

Just tell if too many guns is a problem, then the too many rule will now apply to purses and shoes.
