Good investment??

Everything is still way down. Theyll go back up or stabilize, but I think they hit a ceiling in 2008/09 and then plummeted. The only thing going up in value right now are m16s.

It seems that quite a few things are either going up or holding steady. Belt fed stuff is pretty high, as I see 1919s going for 15k or more these days. Also oddities are holding steady, such as norrell packs. Lastly, MP5s are flirting with 20k now

You ONLY buy firearms they do NOT make anymore. Example, Winchester Model 94, At one point, they were selling for under 200 dollars. Now you can't really touch one unless you fork over around 500+ dollars. Reason: Winchester doesn't make it anymore.

Isnt that self-contradicting? I mean, they go for $500 now SOLELY BECAUSE they are not made anymore. Wouldn't it have been a good idea to have picked one up at $200? 150% return on your "investment". Buying something that ISN'T made anymore has probably already gone up just about as much as it is going to, unless you pick one up as soon as its discontinued.

When Winchester announced they would not build the Model 94 anymore, you should have bought a few. Most people don't.

I remember when Norinco was able to import AK's into the US. I remember those AK's going for $89.00, but now you can't touch one for under 500 it seems. Does that mean I bought a bunch of them? Nope, I always thought a AK as a Piece of CRAP. (But I did eventually buy one before the Assault Rifle Ban and I bought the gun for around 140 dollars...)

Like I said, if you buy Antique Guns like the (real) Henry Model 1860, they will always go up in value. Heck you don't even have to fill out papers buying that gun because it was built before 1896? (Don't remember the exact date).

Beltfeds took the biggest hit of all. Most are at the lowest prices since the mid 2000s. But I think they just hit the ceiling and starting now to stabilize.
