$43,000 would just be a drop in the bucket to have this old CAR:

Then I'd get greased with the $200 ATF tax on the short barrel, another $200 for the Sound reducer, and another for the full-auto capability.  This is the export version of the XM177E2 or otherwise known originally as the Colt Model 629 used in Vietnam.
Well I can only dream of it.
