This turned into the not a good deal gun thread but I bought it 50 years ago and now it's worth more thread.

Army & Navy 20ga double. My brother in law gave it to me after catching me on the back of the head with a low shot while we were walking up pheasant.

That’s how you get many deals . Galil ARM rifles were only imported for a short time . They were cheap back in the 1980s . Today it will cost you over $3,000 .

Best deal I ever had material to me

I have two theories on buying almost anything except food, drink and immediate gratification.

1) Buy it because you love it and will enjoy whatever it is for a long time.

2) buy it as an investment (speculation).

#1 you win either way if you love whatever it is , enjoy it and one day it’s worth a small fortune great.
You buy whatever it is love it and enjoy for years and it gains no value you still win.

I wonder in 30 years from now what guns we're going to be kicking ourselves over for not buying multiple of because prices back in the day were so cheap?

That fn FNC machine gun I should have bought for $12,000 that had a **** ton of extra parts that are now worth the initial $12,000 investment .

Now I’m pissed off again just thinking about that . All because he wouldn’t take $11,000. Yeah.
