The funny thing about guns, is if you shoot them very much, the real cost is ammo.

200 rounds a month at $20 per 50: $80 per month $960 per year, $9600 in ammo over 10 years. Add in range fees, a class every year or so… :grinning:

Reading comprehension is lacking on this site. For example, this thread does not ask the reader to name a firearm they would buy.

I have a custom $5k plus AR-15 if you add in accessories and such probably comes out to $7kish, almost $2k on scope alone. That sits on a custom AR-10 now. I started as a long range shooter in competition. Had it built custom. Heck everything on it is custom. I also have a custom FNZ .45 that with trigger work and replacing most everything is probably $5ish that was my race gun for competitions.

Actually the title and your original post states, “Under what circumstances would you spend $5,000 or more on a firearm?”

Regardless, put their answers in the form of your demanded format. Such as: “Full auto M240G!!!”, becomes “when I can buy a full auto M240G!!!”. Most of the rest of the responses will work to satisfy your demand with a grammar tweak.

Because folks write about what they want to write about, and the way you set up topics invites us to spin off in other directions.

No thread police :star2: — where else can one find such freedom?

Couldn’t get myself to spend that on an H&K MP5 full auto way back when.

Now I wish I had.

The writing comprehension ain’t so hot either. “This thread” asks nothing — you asked the question via the thread. :laughing:

Let me rephrase my answer.

Picture it USA, 2021-2022, any day of the week, when the merchant was in a selling mood, I was in a buying mood, it was not raining and during daylight hours. A Humvee with a Ma deuce became available!
