[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2957482, member: 7157"] Even milsurps aren't a good bet from an investment standpoint. You'd do better in the long run to invest in the stock market; a fair example might be the M1 Garand. You could buy an average Service Grade quality M1 circa 1960 for around $90; today, that post-war M1 might be worth $1500 if it's all correct, and $800-900 if a mixmaster. That same $90 invested in the stock market back then would be worth about $2200 today assuming a rather conservative 6% rate of return. And that's assuming you don't wear out the rifle in the meantime and dent its value as a result. [/QUOTE]
