BUY my police trade in Glock 22 for $450.00 comes with three scratched magazines and ample amount of holster wear. It is customized with grip tape and an American flag slide plate. Will come in your choice of a protective Walmart bag and or Kroger bag. Man this is a rare piece with the authentic wear on it!Haven’t read all of the post but Aim surplus has LEO Glock 22’s for $309
So I guess my Colt Python that I paid $125 for years ago was not a standard production gun?A standard production gun does not rise in value. Once you use it it is.....a used gun. Period.

There are exceptions. This is one of them that no matter how I try I do not understand. Save the fact they stopped making them. I had a few snake guns. They were OK.
If someone will pay that much for a Colt more power to them and to the seller.

This was more along the lines of current production guns. Finger groove 10-22 and the like are still have tremendous value but there will always be exceptions to all rules. A card player with a pair of dueces can always beat hole card aces over the draw of cards.Jmarriott,
On that 10/22 and 870 thing..........
Have you seen what a factory checkered 10/22 sporter (SPC not DSP) goes for nowadays? (made around 550 of them, '66-71)
or a 20 ga 870 Special Field from the mid 80's ?
.
My experience as well. Had a Colt King Cobra 6" stainless 357 many years ago. Traded it when I had the chance as that thing was either built on a Monday morning or Friday afternoon. Only wish I still had it to be able to draw the prices they are seeming to get now, other than that, no regrets is dumping it off. Maybe I had a bad example, but I've seen lots of similar reports.

If if you were buying the SPC over a regular 10-22 (89 dollars in 79) you were following rule four of value up and beating against rule 1 of value down. The wingmaster 870 and to a point the 1100 rem of the 1980Â’s were exceptional guns. The walnut had grain and was dark. The blue was very good and the machines were making good cuts. It is all a gamble.
All one can do if buying now for future value is put as many of those oddÂ’s in your favor as possible.
There's some Eugene from The Walking Dead in there also.Harley, is that you? How ya been.
The used guns at the Strawtown Flea Market, sure beat Gander Mt in the high price department. Stopped in there today, on my way to an appointment in Indy. The guns there were easily $75 to $200 more that the same type firearms at Bullseye or McDonald's Gun Shop.

Like your optimism, but the market is FLOODED with AR's and I don't see them as a investment. Now maybe a early in the box Colt SP1 or Armalite, then yes. Just as early original Norinco's AK's are increasing. But all the new black rifle makes and models out there I'd say not. Even if in the future there's a democratic majority ( God help us ) and they pass another "assault weapon bill" those that are out there now will be grandfathered in. It's just gonna be like last time, people panic and start paying 2,000 grand for a basic AR, then 8 years later they are back to selling for $800
