Beautiful but what would you do with them if you owned them? Wouldn't shoot them, be afraid to display them, hide them in a vault and take a look at them every so often, not for me. But I guess if I had the money to even consider a $30,000 gun purchase I would think differently.

It's for a charity Joe, a charity.

I dunno, the seller only has one feedback, plus I've seen that exact same picture elsewhere on the net. Are you sure you can trust him...?

On the other hand, they offer free shipping and no credit card fee, so there is that.


Not joking - UPS shipping and insurance and a 4% credit card fee would add around $1,575 to the final cost at the current bid of $31,879. Unfortunately there's still state sales tax and gunbroker's 1% fee which would total $2,231 to Idaho, so that's kind of a deal breaker for me...

Wish I had enough disposable income to afford that size “charitable“ donation!
