If you buy the right stuff the guns will be worth more than you paid when you finally kick the bucket and the kids inherit them.
Remember your thread. I'll check back with you in 3yrs and see how far down the rabbit hole you've fallin
True story. I wish had saved or bought a case of those $60 SKS rifles slathered in cosmoline. Those were fun to shoot, and ammo was $100 / 1100 rounds. Buy a gun, shoot a case of ammo out of it, sell it for $150. Repeat cycle. Wish I had a case of those to offload at the now price of around $600.
This. I also think Colt ARs might specifically appreciate a little better than other brands- if they actually cease production and never get back in.
