August 2025 was another blockbuster month on GunBroker.com, with collectors driving fierce competition for rare military machine guns, high-grade sporting arms, and even firearms with Hollywood pedigree. Bidding wars pushed sale prices into the tens of thousands, proving once again that GunBroker is the premier marketplace for both historic and investment-grade firearms.
Below are three standout items, followed by the full Top 23 list ranked from lowest to highest sale price.
The iconic MP5K has long been a favorite among military and law enforcement, but this post-86 dealer sample version attracted collectors with its pristine New Old Stock condition. Compact, reliable, and battle-proven, this machine gun remains one of the most recognizable firearms in the world.
French craftsmanship met dangerous-game firepower in this gorgeous Chapuis Elan double rifle. Featuring AAA-grade Circassian walnut, fine engraving, and traditional express sights, it’s as much a work of art as it is a safari companion. The .470 Nitro Express chambering underlines its role as a serious hunting rifle built for Africa’s biggest game.
Perhaps the most historically significant entry of the month, this original WWII German Sturmgewehr 44—the world’s first true assault rifle—came with Hollywood provenance and appeared in multiple films and documentaries. With matching serials, documented history, and excellent running condition, it represents the pinnacle of WWII collectible firearms.
With collector interest surging and rare guns fetching $20,000+, now is the perfect time to list. Whether you’re looking to downsize a collection or capitalize on a hot market, auctions like these show there’s serious money waiting.
