NFA may be done after all semi autos banned. Yeah, they're going after all semi autos and mags over 10 rounds first. Maybe a carve out for the Garand, but I doubt it. Not even the mini 14 will be missed (get it, mini 14, missed). Next they're going after pistols and revolvers. Pistols are by far the most common gun used in crime and suicide, so that will be the justification. Fudd guns will seem safe till the next mass shooting. Then evil sniper rifles, pumps, and lever actions will be banned. Now, everything won't be completely banned, the NFA will exist, but just like in Europe and NYC, only the rich and politically connected will own guns. Muzzle loaders will be allowed to exist, because while the rest of the constitution is a living document, the founders only meant muzzle loaders. Archery will exist, as will knives, but you're going to jump through hoops to buy them. Even more importantly though, the right to self defense will be gone. If you harm one hair on a criminals head, you're going to jail. But what about the 2A and SCOTUS, you ask with hope in your eyes.... hah they're going to rule that a muzzle loader kept at a hunting club is obviously what the founders meant by shall not be infringed. |

Quoted: I absolutely refuse to sell a tactical rifle right now, due to possible antigun legislation. However... I bought a marlin dark series 30/30 last year for $600 bucks. It's still new in box. Apparently Marlins shut down, and stopping their manufacture for a year or so has prices insane.. the money into ar15 stuff, and in a year or two when Marlins are being produced by ruger and panic subsides replace them for around what I originally paid. I recently traded a “tactical rifle” for a dark series.

Leverguns will have to be the new truckgun at some point.
When that happens you won't be able to buy one or ammo for it. Even when Ruger ramps up. Keep a couple in reserve, sell the rest. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Replace it with what though? Ruger claimed (optimistically) they wouldn't have their version of Marlin back on the market till late fall 2021. That's before stuff got really crazy here recently. Who knows when they'll have models back on the shelves and who knows what they'll actually come up with. A faithful reproduction utilizing old school quality manufacturing and quality components or a low-cost version to sell to the masses? The JM and Remlin prices might climb even higher. And what are you going to buy with the profit in the mean time? More washtubs full of P-mags? More $1,500 AR's that were $650 a couple months back? Seems like a bad move to me OP. Agree..I sold a beretta M9A1($700) NIB Colt 6920($1500) and 400 rounds of 556($320) + $500 out of pocket to fund the purchase of 2 Miroku Winchesters 1873 and 1892 deluxe takedown case color octagonal 16"barrel in 38/357 mag.Paid 3k for the pair before gunprime raise the prices from 1499 to 1699 .ARs are dime a dozen and I only need one https://gunprime.com/products/winchester-1873-357-mag-trapper-grade-i-limited-1-of-201-534250137https://gunprime.com/products/winchester-1892-357-mag-deluxe-trapper-takedown-16-barrel-534257137 |

I've a bunch of levers and the ammunition for them but I'm not tempted as of yet, anyway. At a minimum, theres a couple hundred factory rounds for each caliber from .22's to 45/70's plus all the reloading equipment for the centerfires. There's pre64 Winchesters, all the Marlins are JM bullseyes (by far the largest segment) and a spattering of Pumas. I have an 1895 45/70 Marlin and 336C 30-30 that I picked up in 2005 that haven't been fired though the levers have been thrown a couple thousand times to smooth out the actions. Why? because I have others.
There's many facets to firearms that I like and one of them is collecting and ownership. Unlike many of the millionaires here, each purchase has been a sacrifice in one way or another and the research done and all that so each represents an accomplishment in a way. I never looked at them as an investment even though I could make my money back many times over it seems and I'm not saying I don't have a price as that would be foolish. I just enjoy them for what they are. Then there is my sons who would be disappointed if I were to sell as each has already called dibs when I croak so that warms my heart some. EDTA a typo correction. |
