Ummmmmm YUP! Back in 1990 I traded a used S&W 44 magnum "Mountain Gun" + $200 cash for one of the fabled AR15 "Green Guns" that was a true semi auto but had no sear block welded into the lower group. Thus all it required was a full auto sear to be installed. Or so I was informed. That's something I would not do, but appreciated the investment potential. I sold it in 1994 coinciding with the AWB at a gun show to a dealer with a table. I included another great deal I'd made: An original Colt 4X scope (made specifically for the AR/M16 family with a butterfly attachment for the carry handle. It had a Bullet Drop Compensator pre-calibrated for Military ball ammo by the factory that I'd purchased from a guy getting rid of some of his late son's stuff. He said make an offer and I said $50 and he said DEAL, so I did. The price I got I'll keep to myself but it was HUGE compared to the price I paid. Enough to turn around and buy 3 others. I might be able to make that same deal or a lot better in today's climate and that would be the first time since 1994. My point is that for the next four years prices ain't likely to drop much, so get a fund started!
