If you were to invest in a couple AR's

[djl02]

There's no money to be made by ,buying CD's. So if a guy thought about investing some money into a couple firearms, like an AR15 what kind and what are they selling for.I've owned Colt and Bushmaster, but nothing else in this platform. Anyone seen any deals?

Full Autos are the only one guaranteed to appreciate in value.

if you want to "Invest" you'd have to go the NFA route.

Otherwise find a good used high quality big name AR. If you buy one new you'd lose that investment. Since, I'm guess you're talking about just from an investment standpoint you'd be more likely to get what you paid out of a used gun than a new one.

I'd look for Noveske, LaRue, Lewis Machine, or Colt. If you find a used one in good condition you should be able to get the same amount back out of it without losing much money at all.

But, a Full-Auto M16 would definitely retain its value a lot more.

wish i would have bought 4 Hs Precision HTR's when I bought it 5 or 6 years ago. I got one for 1600 and now their 3000 plus. I made 84 dollars off of a CD the other day when I cashed it in.

+1

Even the other NFA stuff won't hold a candle to Full Auto when it comes to a return on your investment.

Even if the most you can afford is a Mac at about $2700 to $3000, in 10 years I would guess that it will almost double.

Wow. I had no idea. So, does anyone want to donate a full auto to a poor newly wed? I'll be very grateful

 

[luckydog465]

NFA would be a good investment and if the shtf it would be good too !

 

[djl02]

What kind of prices are you seeing on ar conversions or M16 Colt or along that line?

NEWLY WED,that explains why there is no beer cooler in your man cave.

Just kidding.

There is money to be made in the fine art of buying and selling of handguns and long arms. The problem arises when you fall in love a piece and it takes up residence in your safe.Then there is the issue of profit margines, most think they are about to make a killing, I would rather make ten small profit deals than wait on the sale of the century.
My old swim coach always said turnover is the key, right after he told me to set my beer down and put out that cigareet.

Full auto MP-5s or just the trigger packs are a good investment too.

Colt 6920 is pretty much the standard.

Lower receivers. They are inexpensive again, easier to turn, compact for storage.

I'd also consider LRPKs.

Buying the complete firearm for investment is problematic as they are harder to store and since the platform is so modular will be difficult to turn as you will never have what people want.

I thought newly weds were already set to full auto

What kind of prices are you seeing these for? Also whats the differance in 6920 and 6721?

Like Kirk said, lowers are the way to go. However, im not sure about the legality of buying firearms with the intent to sell at a later date for a profit.

Midwest gun exchange had them for $1089 for quite some time. I haven't been in there for a while so I am not sure if they have them for the same price now.

I'm not a Colt man myself so I am unsure of the differences in models. I think their website has decent info on it though.

 

[uniquejohn]

I would guess that any quality firearm in good condition would return as much or more that the current cd rates, but tops would be a full auto if that is in the price range.

If, and only if, another assault weapons ban were put in place, the price of many things would raise dramatically. Magazines for example. Many are reasonably priced now. At 44mag.com you can get D&H black teflon coated 30 round mags for like $8.50 Some other mags are less. Remember how much hi-cap 10/22 mags went for during the last ban? I wish I'd been sitting on a pile of them back then.
A highly desireable AR15........What about the new Colt 6720 that is being made exclusively (at this point anyway) for Clyde Armory? That might be something to look into.
