Investing in firearms and related assets

I agree when we're talking Olympic Arms or something like that. But you can get solid AR's for a decent price, too. Two that come to mind are Colt for quality, and some of Palmetto State Armory's stuff is good quality yet very inexpensive. I'd never buy optics or attachments if I were going for investment, though. People are particular about what they prefer and most are overpriced anyway.

I have an Olympic Arms AR and honestly it's better than the Bushmaster AR that I had before it. I've put 5,000 rounds through it in about 10 years and not a single misfire or jam. The real key to having an AR is using pmags, cleaning after every range visit, and not using junk ammo (like wolf).

Agree, if you're building one spend the money on the barrel and the trigger. As far as optics accessories I agree for resale it's a moot point, but for some people in this thread looking at buying for themselves stick to high quality stuff. Buy once cry once.

Then you don't want to actually buy firearms, but only display them with you as a foundation. Your main job is not buying them but finding people willing to store them with you, combine it with an auction platform and you might have a business
