Re: full auto
Yup! Still, today that Ingram Model 6 is worth $4,500-$5,000, and the dewatted Chauchat would go for $3,000 ... the NFA stuff is prolly the highest-appreciating hardware on that 1961 list. Original Thompsons are $12,000-$20,000 today, MP40s are up around $8,000 and even lowly STEn Mk IIs can fetch $5,000 if original. Makes the $200 tax seem petty.
Ah, for the good ol' days when you could get anything by mail-order! Wish I had a way-back machine...... LOL.
