I'm not talking about the relics (ie blackpowder) I'm talking about any military style pistol or rifle.

WWII and WWI rifles, like the Garand, Springfield 1903, and '03A3 rifles.

Hell, some folks are already charging big bucks for them. I bought mine at a pawn shop a couple of years ago for $500. I wouldn't sell it for $1,000.

Why does it have to be "military style" to be collectible?

Your knowledge of firearms is lacking. Bone up young padawan.

In the non military category, I would think that pre '64 Winchesters will get up there in price.

Any and every firearm you own will be on the government collection list if the POTUS gets his way, and he is forging ahead with it as you read this with his SCOTUS nominee.

The future of anything is suspect.

I'm betting on complete collapse, so what I find valuable is not conventional.

Robust is the name of my game.

Ammo is what will be valuable.

The Nagant pipe is already starting to dry up a bit. Numbers matching, non counterbored ones are an exception rather then a rule now. Still cheap and available, but many of the good ones have already been snapped up. Got mine.

I agree about the SKS's as well, and the Garands. (I still have to get one of each before the prices hit the stratosphere.

A Saiga 12 gauge is a more formidable "evil" shotgun than that South African "Street Sweeper" ever was.

Colt Firearms......

I think that since they lost the M4 Contract that they're going to try to rely on the civilian market..... the civilian market remembers Colt's views and attitudes towards the civilian market. So in the end.... I believe that Colt will circle the drain and die. More then likely the name will be bought by someone else and the line will continue but it's going to be like Winchester.

As for firearms on the Market..... the surplus market is drying up. So many cheap Mil-Surps will be getting pricey. Mosin-Nagants, SKS Carbine, RC Mausers, Yugo Mausers, etc.....

Nothing really after WWII/Korea can be sold to civilians except pistols. The C&R Market will change for sure.

I dunno if HK could sue CETME, since CETME designed and produced the rifle before HK bought rights to make them..

CETME is the HK-91 / G3 daddy.

That's a joke right?

Check out Scott A. Duff Historic Martial Arms Click on the Interesting Stuff link and check out the guns as investments article. The head over to the 1903 section and see what they are going for.You may very well be surprised.

WWI Springfields are pretty good right now, and will only increase in value obviously.

And now that I looked up pre 64 Winchesters, I really need to get one quick.
