Glad I bought 3 already and never paid over 3k for them.
I get the impression the ones you listed are for using and the the old-timey collectors items are for looking at.
So they are better because nostalgia.
(looks for Flips / dollars conversion chart)
Because you can’t make an M40A1 clone with either of those two scopes
I get it might not be everyone’s thing.
Cuz if u run out of ammo… u can take it off your rifle… beat someone to death with it and then put it back on and it’ll hold zero
Just nostalgia… m40A1 and a3
They will never go down in price. I’m not saying it’s an investment item, but unless you destroy it there will only be appreciation in value.
They also end the Mil/MOA argument since they use both and smell like crayons.

I feel complete in my knowledge now.
I paid $2500 just a few years ago. Finally had the rifle built by GAP, zeroed the Unertl. The BDC turret was spot on to 800 yards! So simple even a Marine could do it. And many did for a long time. Cutting edge tech in the 60s. Iconic look. Preserved history. Here's mine:
Interesting how inflation is the "Double Edged Sword". It makes your stuff so valuable that no one can afford to buy it.
The price of an Unertl is more to do with rarity plus desire plus disposable income than inflation.
I’ve played with the real ones enough, I have a USO MST-100 that I paid far less for. That and I know what we did to them and wanted one that hadn’t been beaten like a red headed stepchild.
That's nothing. Original price was just under 1500 off the showroom floor.

Nice rifle, but a wet dream in the 1960's.
That is 1980's thru 1990's tech right there.
I’m seeing a lot of stagnant ads and significant price drops across many sectors right now. Now that money is getting tighter for people they are looking for deals, and willing to wait.
I peruse 40 different sale forums almost everyday. A lot of sale forums have been extremely overpriced over the last two years. Now you can see see things sitting for long periods, and not moving until there are significant price drops. Usually down to 75% or less of new price.
However, this won’t apply to real collectibles because that has never been the realm of broke people.
I had a 57 and way under valued it. I had 35 miles on after 3 years of restoration and the car was completely rebuilt by me. Lady talking on the phone totaled it. They valued it at $26,000 several years ago car.That's nothing. Original price was just under 1500 off the showroom floor.

Because some people will pay any amount of money to fulfill their larping fantasies.
You know those nerds in new York that put on homemade armor and swords and beat the shit out of each other in the park while pretending they can shoot fireballs out of their fingertips?
Same shit, just with guns.

Or play sniper board games and need to know if their dice roll against an RPK is going to take off life points…

Anti-sniper tactics using MMG
Are mmgs like PKM or M240 a threat to snipers? If yes are there specific tactics used by machine gunners if a squad is being picked off by snipers?

You were expecting hookers and blow, weren’t you?
I suspect prices on those are down.

Hookers and blow are probably dropping in price save the collectible stuff,
Govt is subsidizing blow and cutting it with fentanyl while the falling economy is removing people from the legitimate work force and in desperation putting them in the ho workforce.
Adam Smith is not at work here. You govt is.

The Keynesian economics of hookers and blow theory is not only valid, it is happening before your very eyes!

Beautiful car! When I was a teenager, my older brother had a stunning black 57 rag just like that. The thieves floor jacked a 24’ boat and a suburban out of the way to get at it. This would have been around 1993.
Collectible stuff is the higher end market
See the news of two weeks ago regarding the ring caught working police, military, government circles that will be memoryholed before one John is ever named.
Likely they will toss @Bigfatcock to the prosecutors and call it good as far as naming names go.
My hoes come from the skreets. My frugal manner has saved me! Jokes on them!
Au contrair mon ami.That's nothing. Original price was just under 1500 off the showroom floor.

They used to advertise them at under 1k on TV ads all the time back in the early 70's.
Here's one for 700'ish brit pounds.....not going to bother converting that because....well....I B a lazy fuck.
It adjusts to 8975 pounds now, used ‘72 as a base date. That makes it $11,179 for us.
