Saddam's golden gun, a gold-plated AK-47.

What, if any of you would bid for this?

If I lived in Detroit, everything I own. I could be gun poor instead of car poor. Mad respect for that.

I'd rather have Audey Muphy's M1, Thomson , or 1911 . If I were into collectables . If it goes to sale it'll bring 500k if it gets a penny.

I'll bid on it, 3 dollars, then, I'll melt it down, and make $1,000.

I don't thinkyou guys realize how much just the gold is worth in that gun. Gold is currently $650 an ounce, orright at $10,000 a pound.With as much gold as there is in that gun, and given how dense gold is, it's worth a fortune by itself.

I should know, I work at one of the largest gold mines in the world, Barrick Goldstrike.

Well, it's Gold-Plated, not solid gold. You can get a 24kt gold-plated coin, and you're only going to pay at most $10 extra for it.

$0
Can't even leaglly import it so why bother?

I'd buy the rifle that Saddam was often seen firing in the air in front of crowds- Ruger No1 in 7x57 if I recall correctly.
