Class 3 is fun for a little while, but the novelty wears off quick.

Put a roll cage in it with a reinforced steel plate mounted at the top I bet you'll never loose another race

class 3 is the term for the type of FFL/SOT business, not a firearms description

.50 BMG is the round used in the weapon. The nomenclature for the weapon itself is M2 Machine Gun (also known as ma deuce).

At $22K, that is a pretty good price. Replacement cost for Military is around $15,000, so I would think that they would sell close to $30K right now. While a fun weapon to destroy things with, it has too many downfalls for me. First, you can't really appreciate it, until you really shoot it. That would cost the average Joe around $17K (5,000 rounds @ $3.30). Reliability is less than stellar, as it seems to malfunction when needed the most. And last, I cringe every time I see someone "new" to the M2 try to set head space and timing.

If you paid $22k for a used M2HB 50 BMG, you got ripped off. You can get them brand new for around $10k to $15k. EBRWorks can hook you up with one.

Personally, I'll stick to my single shot bolt action 50. I'm much more interested in accuracy than demolition.

Brand new for a pre-ban full auto? If so sign me up right now!!

I paid $3500 for my MP-5 A3, and it is worth way more that what you quoted for that M2.

Right now, as with most weapons, prices are soaring. If his is a pre-ban, full auto, it will fetch more than $22,000 at a gun show. Heck, I'm selling 30 round Ar-15 magazines at $75 a pop.

I really can't wait for this hooplah to be over, I would like to get back to collecting as normal.

From what I understand I'm told I could sell my AR for double what I paid for it right now

You must have some pretty naive buyers... I was just at a gun show last Saturday and the 30 round AR-15 mags were selling all day at $35.

Ridiculous that Pmags going for $50 and up, and USGI mags going for $35. Glock mags going for $45. Glad i bought all of my mags between 2004-2007.

Anyone else of you shooting 50 cal a member of FCSA? It'd be nice to meet some other 50 shooters that are also into the AMGs, especially during competitions.

Also, if there are any NorCal people that like getting together to go out to the range, let me know. My fun guns are my Desert Eagle 50ae handgun and Ferret50 rifle. But I shoot several other calibers as well.
