Go with the HK.
And oh yeah, say 37 Hail John Brownings for absolution, right after you place the bid for the HK.
The Ruger would be a decent price under 1k. No absolution needed.
The Parker set would make a good Christmas gift to me. It is more blessed to give than to receive....
I will settle for the Browning over/under as I have no over/under shotguns. Of course...beggars can't be choosers.
The customized Winchester is cool. I like me a 300 Win Mag...that is accurate (that's right, "I like me a" fill-in-the-blank). Yes...you can have another show off hunting rifle.
What the heck? A flint lock? Prepper gun in case you have to make your own gunpowder?

I don't have a suppressed mp5... Just saying.
I might just bid on the suppressed ruger. The 5 shot flit lock only confirms my suspicion that people have always gotten high.

There is nothing quite like an MP5 suppressed pouring lead on the target. I love them...wish I had a one or two.
The only issue I see with the Ruger is that it is a MK II. Good luck on disassembly and cleaning. For me that pushes the value south of $750....I would check with Curtis Higgins of S&H Arms for one of his integrally suppressed Ruger's ( https://sandharms.com/ (https://sandharms.com/) ). Curtis is numero uno in H&K weapons and conversions of Rugers. I have one of his Ruger bolt action 44 mag rifles he converted...so quiet that you need to add noise to it to sound like something out of the movies. You can get his number from the website.
I would say the only strength you need is to call Curtis and see if you can't get a better deal through him and a better quality firearm as well. If he doesn't have one he may know someone who wants or needs to sell one...

I already have an mp5. I would love a mp10, but us surfs can't have those. It really is ridiculous just how much the huges ammendment has made registered machine guns cost. It is almost like it was designed to limit them in civilian hands.

Almost? The MP5SD3 with a 4 position fun switch would be 33% more fun than one with a 3 position fun switch. ;)

I use an Allen wrench to unscrew the bolt stop from the top of my 22/45 and the bolt slides right out. Too bad Dino passed away, and the Majestic Arms Speed Strip Kit is no longer available. E. Arthur Brown sells the The HSS (Hammer Strut Support) that goes in the Mark II, so the hammer strut can't get misaligned and make reassembly difficult. You need to take one pin most of the way out to install it, push it back in and you're done. Fully compatible with all Ruger MK II and III pistols, most MK I pistols, but not 22/45 versions.

yesterday, gun jebus did a video on the flint lock.

The primer magazine better be sealed up good when the sparks start to fly. I could see that being a problem when things started to wear out.
