Don’t forget precious metals like copper, lead and brass......

“ Own a musket for home defense, since that’s what the founding fathers intended.

Four ruffians break into my house. “What the devil?” As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he’s dead on the spot.

Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it’s smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog.

I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, “Tally ho lads” the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms.

Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion.He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up, Just as the founding fathers intended”

I helped my 33 year old grandson buy the new Henry Rifle in 357 magnum as that is what his pistol is.

ROTFLMAO

The last semi automatic battle rifle to be grabbed will be the M1, no high cap box magazine being the main difference. I suppose the bayonet lug could be demilled to make the rifle more grabber compliant. I’ve just sold two collectible M1s to finance an order of four more luck of the draws from CMP.

ALL firearms are collectible.

All of them.

Collect genuine shooters and their ammo.

I have a Winchester Model 94 in 30-30, purchased new by my great grandfather in 1895. It has a long octagon barrel and is a takedown model - not much bluing left but the bore is good. Took my first deer with it at age 14 in 1966.
I'll probably sell it before I croak since there is no one to leave it to.

Don’t forget the SKS carbine. 10 round internal magazine and ammunition is manufactured world wide.

What’s more, there are a number of weapons on a special ATF list that are not subject to the same background check laws as other firearms. This includes guns like the World War I-era US Military Colt 1911 Pistol .45. These are historically significant firearms that are at least 50 years old – but note that “50 years old” now goes up to the end of the 1960s.

This is misleading. In order to use this “loophole” one must apply for and obtain a C&R (Curio and Relic 03) FFL. There are other restrictions a well. For instance, to purchase a US Government 1911 .45 from the CMP you must actually pass 2 background checks and it must be transferred through an FFL.

“The price point for entry in the antique firearms market is about $1,500, though more common and desired weapons go for about $2,500 as of this writing.”

I was buying Czech Makarov pistols for $200 a copy under my C&R a few years ago. A nice Mosin was $120 plus shipping. Ishapore Enfields cost about the same. (Wish I’d bought a dozen of those bad boys.]

Not sure where he’s getting these numbers.

Raising my Hand over here....

Recently Julien's Auctions sold off one of two prop guns used in Dr. No. It's been made inoperable but nevertheless it went for $256K.

[NFHale]

The whole point - which seems to be missed entirely here - is that NOWHERE in the US Constitution does it mention the words “collectible”.

The 2nd Amendment means what it says, in the exact meaning the Founders intended it to mean.

They’re for THAT Day - when ChiCOm Joe sends his Gestapo - in WHATEVER form that may take.

[Lurker]

Oh, I agree completely. Honest citizens should be able to buy whatever they can afford that they feel is appropriate to their needs without asking for permission from anyone.

Remember back in the early 90s when you could buy 5 Russkie SKS,s for $450. IN Alaska, once you get outta the urban areas; SKS’s are everywhere. 30-30s & sks,s are traditional favorites for hunting. Ammo is in every village; the Indians just luv them. In rural AK, people can’t afford high priced guns.

[going hot]

Jolly roger flying over the roof should have given those ruffians a clue.

[gundog]

Oh, to have had a pallet of cash when those were going for $75. Another is the Mauser K98. Twenty years ago, they were $100-$150 for many variants.

[sauropod]

That’s pretty good.
