[QUOTE="BillM, post: 4248037, member: 45785"] Sacrilege! Burn the unbeliever!!!! Buying guns is a great investment, if you get the right guns at the right prices. A 1903 Springfield that sold for under $25 when I was kid is worth over a grand now. And I'm seeing Marlin boy's rifles go for several hundred dollars. Saw an advertisement for a decent Mauser military rifle for nearly $1500 the other day. I got a similar rifle for $100 when I was stationed at Cannon AFB, NM, outside Clovis, in 1974 or 75. I gave that to my dad, and nobody knows where it went, so I can't offer it for sale now. :cry11: I don't know about AR-platform guns. To me a $500 AR-15 isn't worth buying, but I see some folks spending thousands of dollars on them. Could be that one of the bare-bones AR's will someday be worth real money.
