[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Most expensive/valuable firearm you own? PICS? (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 12/30/2005 6:56:18 AM EDT

Mine is a Johnson Automatic Rfle.

With a bayonet and scabbard, I guess it is worth around $5000.

Information and photos of rifle

I had never even heard of one until I read "Hatchers Book of the Garand" and saw a picture of one. A year later, I saw one by chance in a local gun store. Almost got screwed on the deal, but came away with it for about $2000 in gun trades.

It was sporterized, but I sent it to a guy in Texas for restoration. Cost $1000.

This rifle can shoot! I have brought it to the range twice and people go nuts over seeing it.

Anyone else got some rare, cool, toys?

Expensive is my 1898 Krag.

Valuable is my Wards Western Field .22 bolt-action. First gun I ever shot. I still clearly remember my dad teaching me how to shoot it.

but, but, but...........you're in CA. You aren't supposed to have that. There is no reason TO have that (unless you plan on shooting at commercial airliners or armored bank trucks at a mile away!!)

Unfired by me anyways, USGI M1D Garand WWII/Korean War-era sniper rifle, everything is new in the wrap; scope, cheek pad, scope mount, flash hider, and documentation from the DCM/CMP, nominally worth around $2,500.

Next time you have a PA shoot let me know. I'd like to personally evaluate if it points the "right" way.

While not my most valuable rifle by no means, it is now my favorite.

A $89 Romy kit I built, rivots and all into this nice AK.

It went from this..

To this..

Another one of my favorites is the British Enfield I brought back from Afghanistan

I guess the most expensive rifle I have is my SPR

the 38 derringer I got after the boating accident. Which I bought from a ~~Ex- Seal~~ space shuttle door gunner, at a ~~gun show~~, jerky and beanie baby swap meet.

I've got about $3k tied up in my AR. One custom-built bull-barrel upper, one Stag M4gery flat-top upper, Bushmaster lower with Jewell trigger. Leupold scope on the bull-barrel, EOTech on the Stag.

There is a long story behind them but these two revolvers are most treasured guns in my collection. They are not the most valuable guns in the collection but they are priceless to me
