Cheap ones with ban potential. Would you rather pay $3500 for a $3300 Ed Brown or $1000 for a $600 AR? People who buy high-end guns won't likely pay the premium whereas if the AR is threatened, paying $1000 would be nothing.

I agree. The older, finely made, pre lock Smiths are the next Colts.Honestly, I'd say older S&W revolvers. They have increased in value by about 25% in the last 3 years...I'll be you see a run like Colt snake guns coming (things like Model 27s and 29s)
Colt SAA, the Winchester limited editions, Shiloh Sharps, C Sharps Arms rifles, and other similar semi custom guns while they may not appreciate won't loose value, so long as they are kept in good condition.Of all the guns sold today, which has the greatest potential to appreciate in value? Which is the best investment gun to buy?
You do realize that Obama was not able to issue a single Executive Order on gun control in his 8 years as President. He only wrote actions to tell his ATF flunkies to enforce existing law.A double barrel shot gun.
Reasoning: Hillary will announce that she wants to ban and confiscate all guns but recognizes the importance of the 2A to our nations hunters and is willing to compromise by allowing the 'Biden exception'. A run on double barrels will commence.
Which is the "current" gen?NIB Colt SAA's. Even ( Especially ) 3rd Gen.
Ammo is not an investment. It can be reloaded for the price of bullets, powder and primers.I think short term investment is better than trying to look long term. I personally am banking on ammo as a better investment right now. That played out for me after SH because a buddy and I had just purchased 100k rounds of 223 at $.17. We didn't do it as an investment but it sure paid off when ammo got to $1 a round. People with an extra DPMS or Bushmaster made a few bucks in 2013. These are just "lucky" examples but they support my point that lower priced goods are a better investment in tougher times and we all know we will see those times again. Anybody notice that thing called the Supreme Court?
There are what? 300 million guns in the US alone? That number tells you that they are not, generally speaking, going to be good investments. Sure there will always be people with more money than sense (guilty on occasion myself) but making an investment based on finding that person with cash when you are willing to sell isn't very wise.
A $2k investment in cheap 9mm ammo will put 10,000 rounds in your portfolio. If ammo doesn't appreciate greatly in the next 10 years then you will still be able to shoot. I don't see ammo going DOWN anytime soon(then again I didn't see a three year shortage of Golden Bullets). A $2k investment in a custom 1911 MAY be worth $3k in 20 years...or maybe not.
Possession has always always been grandfathered on a Federal level. If there was a ban it would prohibit transfer to new owners.That raises an interesting question. If there is a complete ban, will there be confiscation, and if so, will there be compensation? How do you determine the market value of something that no longer has a market?
