For any rich anons, there is an extremely rare opportunity in August to bid on a WA 2000. One is up for auction at RIA.https://www.rockislandauction.com/detail/4098/1307/rare-walther-wa-2000-sniper-rifle-with-case-and-accessories
Its going for a quarter million mark my words
>>65368003what have previous examples sold for?
>OP locked age-verification websiteWhat caliber?
>>65368017works on my machine.308
>>65368000For that price I'd want a doll included.
>>65368021I don't understand why you would ever get this gun in anything other than 300wm
>>65368012Google says the most recent was in May for $264k, before that was in 2020 for $98k
>>65368003Would probably be cheaper to buy a bunch of machining equipment and make one from scratch like the single most based anon on this board.
>>65368162Because you can shoot it more and more often before the barrel goes out?
>>65368162what do you think people would sneer at you, at the range if you whipped out a WA 2000 but it was in the plebeian 308? lol. 'what a loser it's not the 300wm'
>>65368379That is exactly what I would do.
>>65368182I doubt he'd ever do it, but I wonder what he would hypothetically charge for one
>>65368196How often are you gonna shoot a 200k dollar gun?>>65368379Yes
>>65368677If you can afford a 200k gun you can afford a private section of land to shoot on.
>>65368182Wasn't his just a shell on a Remington action?
>>65368679And probably 300wm and a new barrel if and when you wear out the old one as well
>>65368680It was a complete scratch build. Far from just a shell on something.
>>65368695the bolt was not I recall, some 300wm something or another
his yt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmST5ecn32cfunny thing is 15 years ago he posted a video as a young teen with an airsoft WA 2000. guess he's wanted one for a long time
Is this from James Earl Jones's collection?
>>65368997is this also his? same auction https://www.rockislandauction.com/detail/4098/275/rare-world-war-ii-german-panzerkampfwagen-iv-ausf-h-medium-tank
>>65368000>180k dollarinos for a b*llpup.Yeah no, even m14 is better than this shite.
>>65368003I'd rather have a 1963 Ferrari.
>>65368000rather pay that anon who built one himself to make one for me lol
>>65368017>>65368021>>65368162>>65368379Jesus fuck, you people are noguns! All WA2000 were in .22 Long Rifle. There are 10 that have been converted to Ruger 10/22 mags. 10 ONLY.

>>65368000I get the whole collectible safe queen thing, but this makes the SG-550 sniper look like a bargain
>>65368000>walther didnt even bother sanding the bottom half of the furnitureFirst thing I'd do is break out the sand paper
>>65370530Doing that stippling with a punch and a hammer one tap at a time is miserable. Have done, don't recommend.
>>65370460Some boomer collector will buy it. It's small potatoes to the kind of people who casually drop half a mil on another old Corvette to go with the other 3 in their garage full of vintage gas pumps and neon signs they also paid retarded money for.
>>65370772unless you plan on leaving this to a museum when you croak, your wife is going to sell it on fuddbroker for $20k, penny auction
>>65370805reminds me of this desu
>>65370811I had forgotten about this. I hope you break multiple limbs today for reminding me.
>>65369192Bad b8 is bad. You're thinking of Ironwood Designs. RIP you magnificent bastard!
>>65370811Didn't this turn out to be fake and b8? Chkd
>>65368703I never realized how fucking big it is.
>>65368000>rare opportunityYou have always been able to buy one since the 1970s, literally any time you want. You'd just have to get Earl Sheehan Jr (carlwalther.com) to accept your offer for one of his 17. I think he's down to 15 now, so 2 people had the will and means to do it. There's no reason to be constrained by an auction unless you think the added public renown will make it less expensive instead of more
>>65370811>>65370857That's an old tripfag trolling by posting pics of him converting a Tigr into an SVDS. Pretty sure that it was Oilcan. Lurkmore tbqh
>>65370993>>65371409there's been plenty of bait like this throughout the ages.
>>65371112how the hell
>>65371112>source: just trust meWhen is the last time you've talked with Earl?
>>65368000Checked, but wake me up when someone squirts an FRT for one of these things. Until then, it's just Gen Xboomer slop and totally ineffective in modern QCB home defence.
>>65371112>go to gun.deals>search wa 2000>see carwalther.com has them in stock>place order online>email a copy of the ffl>pick up gun from lgs in 3 days>plink onna range this weekend>take pic and post it on 4chan>put rifle in back of gun safe>forget about it>repeat process with something new next weekLOL at boomers who think this is rare or difficult to find.
>>65371685A few years about his WA2000s, about 2 weeks regarding other thingsSource: his webzone. It's LITERALLY on the home page. But I wasn't even referring to the public product page that anon had no problem finding, rather I was referring to my not at all secret knowledge that he has had them for sale for at least the 20 years I've known about him. Or at the very least, that I had not heard he'd died or decided not to sell them suddenlyI'd tell you to just email him and ask but he probably gets 40 emails with stupid "do you REALLY?" requests like that for every 1 earnest question about the actual Walther products he lives and breathes, and I don't want you bugging that precious treasure of an old man.
>>65371822He has several things on his website that he no longer has anymore. Being listed on there means squat. He has Wa2000 magazines and slings listed, but said he hasn't had any in decades last I spoke with him.
>>65371853That is true, I've seen it. Though when I try to buy something that's out of stock, he or his secretary typically removes it from the website afterward. Why don't you email him and ask how many WA2000s he has left
>>65371822
>>65371864You misspelled Burp
>>65371755Based. I love running around with a wa2000 with a foregrip and rds for cqb while playing Insurgency.Chkd
