Well my three may have doubled in value but so have most of the other guns I like. SO as far as I am concerned it is a break even deal. But I do not buy guns to make money off their value going up. I buy them to shoot or enjoy. Now that I think of it I bet my three have not been shot in a year or two. Once again I am falling down on the job of shooting guns as they should be used, not stored in a closet for the next generation.
