I have enough cool toys, I am looking for some investment level firearms. I like unique stuff and military surplus. I am in my 20's and would like something to put away and take care of for around 40 years. I currently have a FN-49 collection, Colt Python, all matching K98k, factory SBR PS90, and FS2000. Everything else I have, I shoot a lot. I don't have a price limit and I know I will have to pay asking price in the current market. I am looking at throwing in some offers on a SVD and Galil Galantz Sniper package. Shoot me a PM or respond on here.

Wanting To Buy
I have this Sixty Thousand Dollar Gen one smoothie Glock 17 with the tupperware box for your consideration....pictures are stored on photobucket .LMK
I will undercut Boltripper and offer my Gen 1 in Tupperware for $1100.
what's the Government buy back price on all those weapons in 15 years?
If the government has a mandatory buy back on Firearms, I don't think my finances will be my biggest worry.
I have an uncatalogued "in the white" unfinished bare metal Winchester model 73 in mint condition. These were made on contract for a museum and the contract was terminated.
The rifle features high grade highly figured walnut furniture and it it can be engraved or left as is (a blank canvas) to mature and ripen.
There is no tang safety. This is a true '73.
44-40
$4000 shipped and insured to your FFL.
It's so shiny it's hard to get good pictures.

April 14,1920 LC Smith Featherweight Ideal Grade 16 ga.
I got the gun in a trade, so I do not have the possession history on it.
The furniture is either museum quality or it has been replaced (likely), and done very well.
The beavertail forearm is a rare custom upgrade. Whether it was original to the order or changed when refurnished or refinished is unknown.
The gun is very tight and fires and functions flawlessly.
The right barrel appears to have some kind of a repair done at some point, but it has not affected function or performance in its limited use with me. (See last pic)
The "London Fluid Steel barrels are NOT Damascus.
915 were made in this configuration. A research certificate from the LC Smith Collectors Association will accompany the gun.

Gorgeous guns but I am looking for military related Firearms mostly, or very unique stuff. I have my eyes on the C93 coming up at RIA next month. That kind of stuff.
I have a nice spare 1919.... And a spare Bren... And a spare Vickers.
Cheers,

I have 300 plus guns for sale. Send me your email address in a PM and include what you are interested in and I will send you a list.
Airbrush or go home…. This classic is available, too. But it’s Andy WarholThat thing would look awesome in a nice Cerekote finish!!
Prices…
I would advise anything from Veitnam up to the recent Afghan war. If you look at milsurp weapons there is a life cycle of collectivness. It is 2 generations removed from the conflict. Basically whatever war the parents of the current middle aged populace served in will be at peak collectibility.
Very different categories
Classic/ vintage
Classic/vintage and worth something
Classic/vintage worth something and appreciate
As can be imagined the last category is the one your after.
Initial comment is the person selling has a better idea of the market than you do.
And keep in mind worth is time phased.
Current investment car business…used to be hot rods and 30-40’s cars, now it muscle cars…the current market was born in a different era than the previous market.
Just look at the custom bike business as well. Idiots paying 150k for a poorly tuned HD…20 years later they are worth 20-30k if they haven’t fallen apart.
Baseball cards…the list goes on

1941 Johnson
1897 Trench Gun
C93 Borchardt

No you don't. You said nothing to sirhr about it. Just because a gun is mentioned in the thread you started does NOT mean you have dibs on it.
If you want to have dibs, the hide standard is that the first to post "I'll take it." in good faith has dibs. You are relatively new here. Your attitude in your previous post won't get you far here. Now you are informed. Please be polite.

In order to settle this argument, it's only fair that the 1919 should be sold to someone totally not involved in the argument.

Or maybe all 3 of you buy it and let @sirhrmechanic decide who the new curator will be.In order to settle this argument, it's only fair that the 1919 should be sold to someone totally not involved in the argument.

i guess you know about gunboards.com. if not,THE milsurp collectors place. great start. a really all matched 98k? FN49 collection-very cool. do you have an argentine? i know of 1 in a pawn shop in naples FL. BIG$,they know what it's worth. have a friend with a 400+ collection of mostly contract mausers. he says he may start selling next year (sooner?) maybe. if you want i can see if he would be OK with a contact and can make it happen. LMK.
@mosin46 if he is looking to offload ALL of his mosins (for a bulk price) I'd be interested. The K98 is a true all matching with no import mark (down to the screw) in excellent condition. Picked it up at a random gun show in Roswell, NM years ago. The only FN-49s I am missing is the ABL code Belgian, Columbian, Congo, and Indonesia. Unfortunately there are less than 5 known Indonesian in the US and none know Congolese. It is also difficult to find an all matching and correct Columbian regardless of the price.
I decided to pickup a couple more snake guns, a hakim, a Lunjman (or however tf you spell it), and a hakim. Got my eye on a Johnson 1941 now.
Not for sale but all of the above are up 300%+ since I aquired them.
I got a 1970s amazing condition colt python from a buddy for $700 and a spare TV. I still feel bad about it.... well kind of.
