What they sell for and what they are worth is two entirely different animals, in truth, they are really only worth about $10, they don't take long to make if you know what you are doing.

Nice. Around $100,000 there right now. Latest ones that I know of sold for $32k and $37k. That is SOLD price. More than what I paid for both of mine just a couple years ago.

Yikes and I own three real M16's and I don't believe I could get more than about $90K for all three of them! |

A friend had a VERY large quantity of those manufactured overseas and shipped to the U.S.before the ban. He was licensed and legal with all the required paperwork........he made a literal fortune.(and NOT a small one!)

Agreed, keep working to educate everyone you know and maybe someday it will change. In the mean time you have to pay to play so start saving some cash. RLL is still the most affordable option at around $13-15k

Hmm I think I bought mine in about 96 or so and paid better than 10x that. Thats a lot of appreciation in a decade. I guess most of that appreciation happened in a few seconds though.

It takes a little effort to make one on a manual mill. I had some CNC'd a couple years ago, and it was $110 for both pieces. I'd say that's what the parts are worth now, anyway. Even in 1985, I think they were at least $20. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I have a mill and it would not take me an hour to make one, they are a simple piece of metal and as long as you have the specifications, they are easy to make, I don't care what they cost, I care what they take to make. They don't take much to make. |

A singularity (defined as an edge of realizable pricing) is nigh on the horizon.
When something crosses from materially affordable to unobtainium, there is a watershed at the crux. Only the most elite of GD will be able to afford NFA in a few short years, like those shorting tech stocks on an insider tip. Either the revolution will have occured by that time, or we go over the event horizon into some sort of singularity.... |

Maybe I can sell my NFA stuff for enough money to buy my own country where I can have any damn thing I want. |
