What is the consensus amongs New York members on the things to aquire now that will become prohibitively expensive or illegal in the future. This pertains to New York awban items or future fed or nystate bans.
We all now that aquiring pre ban ar receivers seems like a good investment .For new yorkers you cant go wrong and in the future it would be easy to sell to younger guys that were to young to aquire pre bans but want atleast one rifle with preban features.
What about pre ban beta c mags, there were never too many out there to begin with and during the ban they were up to at least$600. It would seem that buying any old c-mags from out of state they would easily sell for more in NYS in the future.
30 rd pre ban usgi mags, I dont know that it would be worth while stockpiling these in order to have price appreciation. It would make sense to have more than enough for personal use , but Cant I use replacement mag bodies ,springs , followers and floor plates to keep any mags I have running indefinately ? This is a qustion for legal guys, In the future will their be a market to sell unservicable pre ban mags into NYState for guys to prove pre ban status for replacement mag bodies???
Now to really speculate on what the future holds. Who thinks it is worthwhile to grandfather yourself on guns that could be banned in the future( fed or State) ? Such as 50 cal or belt fed guns.
My point is I would like to be prepared to be ahead of the curve so to speak on things that will rise in price disproportionally. Imagine what it must feel to be a guy that bought legal machine guns before the price started rising after the 1986 registration ban . or the guy that stockpiled pre ban rifles and watched the price skyrocket during the ten years of the aw ban.
Personally I think if you plan on staying in new york now is the time to secure pre ban rifles from out of state where people are not willing to pay a premium for a used rifle. BUT then again the supply in this country could be so big that it will not matter much because there will always be enough to supply a few un gun friendly states.
