June 27, 201313 yr what guns in your opinion will become valuable classic in the future? I have one more permit and thinking about what to get with it...
June 27, 201313 yr Very interesting question. I haven't the foggiest.I never imagined a JM stamped Marlin 1894 would be going for over $1k.
June 27, 201313 yr Author I heard that ruger stopped making "blued" red hawks, now they only come in stainless, would that make it more valuable in the years to come?
June 27, 201313 yr How about the quirky guns that will probably not become mainstream... like the Kris Vector or Chiappa Rhino?
June 27, 201313 yr Most guns, especially the quirky ones, sufficiently limited in production are likely to become valuable after a sufficient amount of time has passed.
June 27, 201313 yr HK P7 I second this, such a crazy odd solid pistol. I feel lucky to even fire one. I never even heard of it until I saw it myself.
June 28, 201313 yr I second this, such a crazy odd solid pistol. I feel lucky to even fire one. I never even heard of it until I saw it myself.Lots of scams on armslist.com selling these guns dirt cheap. People see them listed and send money blindly and get ripped off.
June 28, 201313 yr Lots of scams on armslist.com selling these guns dirt cheap. People see them listed and send money blindly and get ripped off. Damn that sucks, the one I fired was pretty much in immaculate condition because the owner is a neat freak, hahahaha
June 28, 201313 yr P7m13, p7m10, p7k3 Custom 1911s from retired or deceased gunsmiths Original Sig p210
June 28, 201313 yr what guns in your opinion will become valuable classic in the future? I have one more permit and thinking about what to get with it... Given enough time, just about anything............ But, some of the above suggestions are the most likely to go up in value since they are already in high demand.
June 28, 201313 yr Damn that sucks, the one I fired was pretty much in immaculate condition because the owner is a neat freak, hahahaha Is he, you know, a guys who likes guy neat type?
June 28, 201313 yr Sad to say that unless things change, every gun will. Our great grandchildren may have to go to a museum to see what guns their great grand dad used.
June 28, 201313 yr Custom 1911s from retired or deceased gunsmiths ^^This^^ When the big names that everyone wants retire or pass, the value of the guns they built will skyrocket.
June 28, 201313 yr I heard that ruger stopped making "blued" red hawks, now they only come in stainless, would that make it more valuable in the years to come? Ruger ever made a blued Redhawk? I've only ever seen them in SS.
June 28, 201313 yr The guns listed below. They must be correct, not refinished, pre 1946 production, and not import marked. They continue to go up everyday. US 1911 .45 Lugers P38s Walther PPK and PP Liberator FN Hi powers WW2 and pre WW2 Radoms Nambu pistols Broomhandles Femaru in 32acp Sauer 38h Russian Tokarev pistol Nagant revolver Mauser 1934 pistol Mauser HSC
July 1, 201313 yr Something new that will likely become rare. Boberg XR9. Lots of novelty value, well made. Not necessarily the best idea. Also in general, anything that has gone up in price due to scarcity, but that people still use. As mentioned, the S&W 610 is a potential there. It commands a premium, but plenty of buyers are shooting them rather than hiding them away. H&K p7m10 in .40 might be on the opposite end of that line. The rarer p7 guns are starting to be socked away as collector items. Not sure how much upside they'll have.
July 1, 201313 yr Interesting....I didn't know they existed. Sweet. Or find a Redhawk in .357 Mag. That's not often seen these days. I know someone who has a SS .357 Blackhawk and a SS .41 Redhawk....
July 2, 201313 yr http://www.coltsmfg.com/Catalog/SpecialEditions/1877BulldogGatlingGun.aspx ....or you can just wait 135 years until Colt does another run! (I'm not sure anything mass produced will become valuable in the sense of fine-art valuable. If I had a spare permit right now, I'd be looking for an example of Colt's WW1 reproduction 1911. I'd shoot it, tho, not keep it in the safe.)
