    $20k+ is pretty standard for on register transferable guns. Off register illegal machineguns can go for much less than that, like Glock switches. Unless we’re talking about already very rare models of MGs.

      They posted a picture with some of the seized weapons.

      There’s what sure looks like a Browning M2 in there, bro. They’re 10k for the Army.

      I’m not saying it’s impossible he was dumb enough to put together an illegal hoard worth more than a house, I’m saying there’s more likely answers.
