what was the absolute best deal you ever got on a gun

Mine was this SS, Mini 14 folder, A Team style, I bought in the 80's for $350,
they are worth about $1,000 to $1,500 now,

Then again, there was this SKS they were $39 at Roses dept. store in Gainesville in the 80's, wish I'd bought em all withy the prices around $300 today

I traded a Glock 19 gen 5 for a LNIB Springfield 1911 Range Officer Operator a couple of weeks ago.

not to forget this 22 revolver that was rusty as hell, but shot great I picked up at a pawn shop for $25 last year, reblued it and traded for a lnib Ruger MkIII, not a bad deal for the Ruger.

$600 LEO L1A1 @ the show off Jergens Ct. in ATL. Maybe $3 - $5,000 if you can find one today.

I bought one of these locally but it is a GB K model, similar to yours but has a flash hider and bayonet lug under the military style front sight. Thanks to @bambam, he gave me a heads up.
