Hey guys, I’m a firearm enthusiast/middle class collector. I have somewhere around 30 guns, I’ve owned probably a hundred or so, none of them are insanely expensive. Some $1500-$2000 setups, but nothing incredibly notable. I have a nice AR10 and Kuna, both suppressed, which are probably my most expensive guns.
I recently discovered a sum of money that was put in my name by my late mother. This sum of money would be the only thing that was left for me after her passing a few years ago, as she passed unexpectedly and didn’t leave too much behind besides memories.
I’m doing fine financially, I have a good career, but theoretically the entirety of the money could go to “better” uses, my daughters college fund and such. I mean, buying a gun is hardly a smart financial decision typically. However, I want to use a portion of that money to get a firearm that I can pass down. Something that maybe I’d have my mother’s name engraved in, then someday my name can be added once I pass, etc.
I was thinking of a Fulton Armory Mk14 EBR. I’ve thought those specific rifles were awesome ever since I was a kid with MW2. To me, it’s a very notable and eye popping firearm. The cost of such is definitely on the top end of what I’d want to use out of the money I’m coming into.
I suppose the opinions I’m looking for is if any of you have any other suggestions for eye catching beautiful firearms that you’d want to pass down to your next of kin. All the guns I have would theoretically be passed down, but I guess I’m looking for the one that my kids would say “No, we can’t sell this one”, if that makes sense.
