Just my opinion, if I choose to pay stupid $$ for a gun, it better do a mag dump with one pull of the trigger. My guess is that those guns will not be used and they’ll get pulled out of the safe occasionally to show off to friends. Just sayin’. Takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent’s Fritters.

It's not the gun. In an auction, It's two people with an ego and money.

If I bought such a gun even at "stupid $$" you better believe I'd be hunting with it...

What will the AHE or the BHEs go for next time they surface?

The AHE hammered at something like $120k last time and that was only the hammer price.
But we need to keep in mind that was 1 of 1...

Takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent's Fritters? I have to start writing some of our editors sayings down! However, when I did say to a friend once, "Now you're digging where the taters lie" he looked at me like I was a freaking weirdo. I am, but that's besides the point.
