    Default Anyone have a spare $5k laying around?

    Arsenal AF-2011 Double barrel 1911.
    http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=466316226

    Seller has 3 along with the new Arsenal release pistol which is over a grand. He so has the Sphinx full size and compact $1066.00 and $900.00.l. Better hurry and get them all while you can.

    I typically never post ongoing auctions in the event its a board members but I'm pretty sure we are safe I
    On this one and the seller isn't from PA.

    I do, but I'm thinking about a Finnish Maxim on GunsAmerica.

    That 1911 or whatever it is has got to be one of the most moronic things ever dreamt up and then put into production.

    I've seen these at a couple different gun shows. The workmanship is top notch. Its a bit cumbersome to hold, but not out of the realm of being shootable.
    Your web muscles do not frighten me.

    No need for an extra $5k. The gun didn't sell. It didn't get a single bid. If the seller really wanted to sell it, why was it limited to a 24 hour auction? I would think one would want to post it for longer for the visibility.

    I saw one of these at the Gettysburg gun show yesterday but have so little interest I didn't even look at the price tag.

    People seem to think that by using one day auctions that their item is going to be at the top of the listings more often and this will get them more attention.

    A seller of mosins does this on GB and it's pretty irritating because everyday you are having to wade through this same stuff over and over.

    To put it mildly, it's a flawed selling tactic that probably turns off more people to the seller than it helps.
    Now add in sellers that type in a huge block of text and in all caps and you have a real winning combination of selling...

    Why have a double trigger if the hammer is one piece?

    You guys are either new to owning guns, marriage, or both.

    Wife: You need to sell off some of those guns you have!

    Husband: I tried but no one bought it!

    Wife: You better keep trying.

    The seller is an FFL for some reason he does 24/hr auctions only on high end items all others are normal 4 or 5 days. He recently started losing higher end items like these as well as the Sphinx pistols which he has listed both ways for a few weeks and they aren't selling either.

    Because a clause in the NFA stating something about one discharge to a single pull of the trigger. ...if there are two triggers then you wont have a machinegun.

    It is how you can legally pull both triggers on a double barrel shotgun and not have a machine gun. But if you have a double barrel shotgun with (1) trigger and both barrels discharge at the same time you have a machine gun.
