Hmmm....REAL FG-42 or outrageously fast Italian sports car named after the Devil himself

Even I would take the car...

How about 300 Enfields give or take a couple dozen?

$9000 for the BD42 is more than I thought it would be. Was sure it would be more than the 7.92X33s, but not triple. Would it sell at $5000? $6500?

That was my tap out range.. Anything past that I couldn't even consider due to my current employment and other reasons. That and I just wouldn't pay it, too much for too little.

Got an answer from Johnone (always a great guy on the communication I might add)

Good morning;
Due to the unrealistic pricing we have decidied not import them....
They would sell for around $9,000.
Best Regards and thank you for your interest
John

$9000 CDN = 5800 EURO

Just shows how weak our dollar and the US dollar are compared to the Euro, with reduced buying power.

Argh, its just as bad as being prohib for me. Id have my car finished for the same price as that.

If anyone buys one I have to come and shoot it, Seriously its a dream gun of mine.

At 10K, they can keep every one of their limited production run repros - just my humble opinion.

Then dont buy one...

A TNW mg34 is 4K, a Bd38 is 3K, each has its price. The BD42 is a rare piece, even as a repro. Im not saying 10K isnt alot of money, Im just saying I want one....

well looking at the pictures posted from TSE in appears that the rifles are shipped w/a spare magazine and the scope mount

I'm usually the last guy to ##### about pricing. The names Valmet, TNW, SSD, Steyr, etc. can all be found in my gun room but 10K is just over the top IMHO. Right up there with 20K for an HK G36S - stupid.

This coming from someone who thought 4K was totally reasonable for an M78

Nope. Look at their ad. Scope mount is an extra $530 bones and the spare mags are $240 or so EACH.

I like the 2nd version better.

 

[9mm-Suppository]

I like the 2nd version better.

ditto, not that it matters, Id probably buy a dsr-1 before the fg if I had to spend 10k

It is quite a beauty though, I wonder how it sounds

The picture shows the accessories available. They are extra.

 

[Savage]

James thanks for clearing that up

 

[Claven2]

By the way, I'm NOT saying TSE is in any way to blame for the pricing. Dealer pricing is just as unreasonable from the manufacturer

 

[Savage]

Claven I agree that the pricing from the manufacture is out to lunch but they may only building them in small numbers
