With all the doom and gloom, nice to daydream sometimes.
Only stipulation to the discussion is that it has to be within your reach sooner or later due to good planning/dedication to the cause. No 40W Plasma rifles.

As long as you are paying for the ammo.
A custom Thompson. Starting with the improvements of the unbuilt M3 TSMG design, restoring the heatsink fins, detachable stock, VFG, Cutts compensator and drum-mag of the 1921/1927/1928 models, overhauling the design to take fullest possible advantage of a century’s development in materials, sight and accessory-mount technology, and interchangeable barrels/bolts beefed up to take 10mm hotloads, .45 Super/.450 SMC and .50 GI.
OTOH, a TSMG in .44 Magnum could be pretty badass too… Granted, neither will probably ever be within my budget reach even if NFA dies in a sewage fire, but at least the technology is well within our grasp.
I’m a simple man, I’ll take a FA Ruger 10/22.
Gustav M45 aka Swedish K will probably be next.
Ultimax.

Since we’re dreaming, an M249. Relatively cheaper to feed than something in .308 and I can pretend I’m 20 again every time I shoot it.
Ruger AC556, but it is starting to get out of reach. There are still some “bargains” out there in them.
My big worry if I got one is parts and service.
Ha, same here.
I know where you can find one for $10k right now. A blued AC556K.
Stg 44
Lot of mundane “dream” machine guns in this list. Almost allof them listed are relative cheap in the MG world.
I’d like to find a transferable ZB37.
Dream ones would be a Ameli or an Ultimax Mk4.
Mongo, I’m revising my dream machine gun to your swedish BAR kg m/37. 
Stoner 63A commando
Mk46 Mod 0
Mp5/10mm
I am a simpleton, an mp5 would probably be my choice. Mags are still available, it has the cool factor, and the couple of times I have had the chance to shoot them were probably my favorite full auto guns to shoot, especially suppressed. Better than belt-fed for me.
Reading Rainbow Sux 20 years ago revealed to me that there are MP5’s chambered in 10mm. That was then on a dream mg.
My dream MG would be a Thompson M1A1. A M16 is what I’d buy if I had the money. I have 9mm, .300, 5.56 and .22 uppers. The .22 upper is fun! I know it well and parts and accessories are readily available. The most fun I’ve had was with a Walther MPK I loved the slow cyclic rate of fire. I looked a few weeks ago and magazines are like hens teeth.
