20mm Solothurn anti tank rifle for under $200

Why do you guys have to act like retards who don't know what inflation is? Obviously it would be cool to be able to buy them now at any price, but you can't just say "woah look at that price" on a gun from the 50s.

>>32996836
Maybe people know what inflation is, and writing out (inflation adjusted) $1216.25 sounds way more autistic? $1216.25 for a M1917 is less than what the average tard in /AR/ spends on a rifle.

>>32996583
What happened to all these guns? There must have been a huge number of the circulation at the time.

They're still around. They're just squirrelled away in private collections, occasionally sold for outrageous prices.

>8" artillery luger for $90

>>32996940
They still exist. Nowadays they're just incredibly rare collector's pieces. Back then nobody really bought this shit. Most people just bought guns that are thought of as "fudd shit" these days. Your average gun collector was more likely to own a Winchester semi-auto than milsurp. It wasn't until the Banhammer came down that people realized the things they should have really been buying the whole time. And quickly those weirdos that collected milsurp instead of "good rifles" held all the cards and could charge whatever the fuck they wanted.

Why are lugers so expensive? They made like a million of them

And shitloads from that million were scrapped, melted or dumped to africa or some other hellhole after the war. Legit lugers slowly became endangered species.

>>32997592
Oh. I guess that makes sense.

Man fuck those people who scrap guns

>>32996836
The fact that you could buy a 25mm cannon out of a catalog is fucking awesome at any price.

>>32997592

They turned them into pottery and cutlery.

Helmets became bowls, Luger's became trays, Mausers became car suspensions, MG-42s became fences, tanks became girders.

These threads make me angry and sad.
I asked my grandfather why he didn't buy any of these when he had the chance and he basically said pic related.

>>32997436
Are these collectible or rare?
I have one in my barn that I keep there for rats and snakes.

>>32998035
Not in the slightest. They're going on gunbroker for the 2-300 dollar range.

The crazy price inflation comes from shit getting destroyed or banned.

>DEWAT

Deactivated War Trophy

Basically it's a overglorified paperweight

>>32996836
$50 in the early 60's is about $400 now. If you dont think thats an amazing deal on some submachine guns/ other iconic guns then I think you might be the retard

>>32998199
That's not nearly as triggering as some of the old hk-91, FAL/FNC, PTRS, and AK prices.

>>32998035

Nah. Decent little .22's though.

>>32998423
Shit, didn't catch that when I posted it. Not that I knew what DEWAT meant until you posted.

>>32996661
This one is DEWATS as well, now that I'm looking back.

In the 1950s-60s, was the deactivation serious, or was it a wink wink kinda job that could be reversed easily?

>>32996996
Perfect for that hoopty loaded with pavement apes.

>>32998486
Keep in mind the Ruskie/Nazi guns were so cheap for obvious reasons. Would you want to go to the range in '55 with an STG that was shooting at the guy a few feet away a decade ago?

Many were papered in 1968. Probably a greater number weren't and were hidden by the owners. Who knows what could turn up when Uncle Jack dies and relatives are going through his barn?

>In the 1950s-60s, was the deactivation serious, or was it a wink wink kinda job that could be reversed easily?

Depends on who did it. I've seen a few at gun shows where the owner said it was only missing the firing pin and had some shitty welding in the breech so it couldn't chamber a round.

Nowadays, under Canadian specs at least, the bolt has to be pretty much destroyed by cutting or grinding, the firearm can't be disassembled, breech has to be pinned or welded and magazines can't be removable.

>>32996966
when adjusted for inflation those are not good prices at all. If anything AR10s are way cheaper now
