[QUOTE="joegrizzy, post: 3626120, member: 45524"] $1000 is the new $500. $500 the new $250. basically, when i was first getting into guns (ya know, basically as soon as i could legally purchase them), anything in that sweet $300-$500 range was good to go. almost always a no brainer purchase for me, at least stuff that i was into. that included a lot of c&r milsurp stuff. of course everyone knows about the ak's, nuggets, and sks's, but things like post war p1's, nagant revolvers, pps-43s, mausers, k98's, nambu's, arisaka's, basically ANYTHING that isn't made anymore but was under $500 is now going to be just under $1000. maybe. and then we'll see it double again. it won't inch up. if you want a 3rd gen smith, i'd get one. saw a thread here on the CMP and i'm doing it. been too long for me to not have a garand, and i'll take even a field grade for what they are asking. we're at the point where the cmp is 'selling' them for dang near half market value. gun purchases aren't purchases, they are investments. i'm building my 401(g). the trick i'm learning from listening to all of you, beit guns, old cars, or whatever, is NEVER SELL.
