Special thanks to John G. For bringing this to my attention. Without him, I would have completely missed this auction.
Last night, on Gunbroker, a pretty cherry FAMAS semi-auto rifle sold for $58,525.00
Sweet Baby Jesus.
I don’t even know what to say at this point. Other than any hope I held out we would be buying a FAMAS are now pretty much gone.
For perspective, how much is $58k? In John1911 gun range terms, that is the exact, cash price we paid for the slightly used, 11,000lb, Massey Ferguson 4707 range tractor, new 8’ brush cutter & HD pallet forks.
At some point it’s not even about the money. It’s more of…what else can I do with it? If the FAMAS was gone for us at $30k, it’s gone-gone at almost 60!

Sincerely,
