Most of my collections are personal or sentimental. And not anything that would be worth anything beyond passing it down or donating. Or hiding from wife who just wants me to declutter lol.

There are. Mainly with military surplus firearms but some will use hunting rifles, etc. I wouldn’t consider it particularly wise, but there have been plenty of firearms in the last decade which have gone up substantially in comparison to how much they used to cost. It was also relatively predictable for some, as rifles like the K31 there was clearly a limited supply coming in and there isn’t really going to be more, at least not in large batches.
A few rough examples. A Ross rifle 10 years ago was about 1000$, today around 3k. A K31 10 years ago was 250-300$ now is 900-1000$. A mosin nagant m91/30 which was 120$ 10 years ago is 400$ today. M1 Garand was 800$ 10 years ago, 1800-3000$ today.
Examples of things that have substantially lost money though. PTRD anti-tank rifle, 1200$ 10 years ago. 6k two years ago, prohibited today.
Some of the firearms you could see the writing on the wall for ‘investment’ purposes (AR-15s, CZ858s, Swiss Arms, etc.). Others like the anti-tank gun listed above was a large blindside because they didn’t even talk about banning rifles like that until they did it.
In other news the Liberals won’t give up on expanding C21 even though they have been beating the horse on that legislation for a while.

I'm not sure how many rest their retirement on it but I know lots of people who see them as investments.
The milsurp market has gone crazy with prices. Sporterized Enfields are selling for $500, 5 years ago you could get 2 for $300. Non sporterized are $1500 or more, depending on some variables. They sold them for $25 ea or less at Sears.
I have a No.5 JC I bought for $500 3 years ago, pristine. I could probably get $1200 for it now.
I wish I had bought crates of SKSs when there around. I bought one 5 years ago at CT for $160 and I got to hand pick it. Now they are now $500 or more.
These are just a few common examples.
As a guy with a young family I am pretty much priced out of the milsurp market now.
In a week I'm going to blow off all my M1 Carbine ammo... Because I know the end is coming for that rifle for me.
I'm looking at lever actions these days but I think I need to go deployment lol

I should clarify. My 'nest egg' is diverse and not just firearms. I am very liquid. Others of my acquaintance, not so much.
While on prices, a nice Russian SKS could be had for $99 not many years ago. Now they are $600.

If the current govt stays in office after the next election, I wouldn’t be surprised if my 12ga pump is limited to BB and smaller shot. Slugs will be banned, buckshot. Centerfire will be decimated.
Time to start looking at/learning crossbow/compound/traditional archery. Nothing that shoots over 350 FPS though so don’t go wasting money on those swept-up Tenpoints…

See, I couldn't do that. If I use a rifle, I can put it back in the safe. If I use my scotch, it's gone.
That’s my exact problem with scotch despite trying to collect it…See, I couldn't do that. If I use a rifle, I can put it back in the safe. If I use my scotch, it's gone.

I just bought one of these. It fires .68 cal ammo. The kinetic rounds, even at 300fps, will fuck you up. Lots of videos out there.
Had it out last weekend and it was putting dents in the wood stable boards at 50 feet.

I managed to conquer my fear of opening a bottle of Balvenie Triple Cask 16 I got for a steal.. That was my first attempt to collect and decided that collecting wasn’t as good as consuming.
