I want to get a full-auto MAC11 (machine gun) at @$4000. My wife told me I can only get it if I sell $4000 worth of my coin collection. So that would put a pretty good dent into the collection but I could recover (I could sell 3 or 4 key coins).
I'm looking for opinions of what you'd do. Keep in mind I am about as passionate about guns as I am coins. As far as investment potential, the MAC11 will probably appreciate as well or better than the coins.

Serbian AK with high impact resin folding stock. Flawless machined construction not stamped , throw it in the lake and it still
works. Best of all the cost is $4000.00 minus $3550.00. By the way also comes with bayonet no extra charge!
With that said, I say go for the gun.
1. It will appreciate in value.
2. It will protect the coins should the need arise.
3. You can have a lot more fun with it than the coins. You can take it out, shoot it, etc. You can't really throw coins across the room for fun.
4. You can recover the coin loss. It sounds like the gun you want is pretty rare and doesn't come around very often.
Just my 2 cents.

This isn't very OT. He has to choose between the coins and the gun. He is trying to discuss the pros and cons of each.
I did vote #1, but not for the MAC11....if you're gonna do it, do it right.
The MAC would be fun, though. Does Cobray manufacture in the US?
<< <i>You guys frighten me.
You'd better hide that gold somewhere.
<< <i>This MAC has been specially and highly modifed to be more reliable (the gunsmith made only 11 of these) >>
Even more reason to stay away from this one. Only 11 made means when it breaks, you have a $4000 doorstop.
Not that there's anything wrong with it, probably a hell of a lot of fun to shoot, but is it really what you want, or does lack of
current ownership make the heart grow fonder?
HK's are nice but uber $. Sig is making a new assault rifle that I think is incredible but you'll pay your first born to get one I'd imagine.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
Wish it was mine
At .50 BMG it would probably cost about the same to shoot one round as it would cost for a whole mag in that machinegun. Also a lot more accurate and for me accuracy is what it's all about.

I have a Russian SVD that i would sell for $4800 that looks just like this one. It is AU58.
I think there is less than 600 of them in the good ole USA.

It's AU58 in .54 cal.:

Thats the Serbian version, much more accurate and all parts are machined not stamped!
Full autos are cool but I'd want something more like an H&K.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
The MAC10 and 11 are some of the only "affordable" Full Autos still available. I'd love a Tommy - I have a really nice early West Hurley Semi-auto - but they start at $15k for a "good " condition one (think VF) and upwards of $50k for AU. If you could find one in BU, it'd be like $100k.
