Anyone got any idea what the going rate would be for one of them in the modern market? Have to be out of sight!

As it's often been said ... If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

Personal top-of-the-wish-list would be a U. S. M3 Grease Gun,, Can't afford that either!

Yes, what used to be "attainable" has become silly expensive, but that's the cost of "wants" versus "needs".

I bought my two M11/9 SMGs more than 10 years ago, about 6 months apart. Average paid was $700 each back then. I could have bought ten of them and stored them away (I had $$$ and no kids back then ...)

Today, NIB, they are going for almost $4500 each!!! Thats more than a 6x increase in cost! But, had I made the investment then, it would have meant 6x return on my money!!!

How many of us made 6x our money over the last decade in the stock market? I could have funded my kids college, and had money left over, with that growth rate.

As always, hind-sight is 20/20.
