$17,000…. seems reasonbaly priced. I’ll just go ask my wife if we can buy it. If I never post another comment on this site…. you’ll know how those negotiations went.
Hell, I know where I can I get a De-Blinged version for 2 Grand! AND it come with accessories like 8mm, 30-06 barrels (currently running 7.62 Nato), carrying case, etc. Just ask the people at Jay’s NorthEast Shoot and Breda’s NorthCoast Shoot on how well it shoots.
Hell, for $17,000, I could get a Barett, a couple of “SCAR Heavies,” ammo…..
In the Rock Island Armory Museum, they have a gold-plated M60 machine gun. If I recall correctly, it was the 1 millionth one produced. The gold plating looks a little scabby in spots, but it was one of those company milestone things (SACO, I think.)

Blinged-out is a charitable term for this kind of desecration.
I find the original and replicas (Ohio Ordnance) of these early Browning autos to be beautiful.

They had me at machinegun… and lost me at semi-auto and crank.

What an abomination.
Did these retards get permission from the Herstal Group to put the Browning corp logo on a piece of re-worked War surplus?

No.

There should be a 10th Ring of Hell for those who desecrate the Works of John Moses Browning. *faces Ogden and bows*

firecapt: They didn’t do the plating right them.
You do it the same way you triple plate, only you use gold instead of chrome for the last step.
Any metal can be gold plated, but if you want it to last, you do it right. A layer of copper first, then nickle. Then put the gold over that.
