I think your idea has some merit, but wingshooting is declining at a rapid pace, how long will it be before these guns we all cherish so deeply, (and pay large sums for), lose their value in the market? It's a nasty truth to face, but it's a truth none-the-less. I hate to be a gloomy Gus, but at 28 years old, I don't see my guns being worth a whole lot when my family has to liquidate them. I don't buy them for that reason, I buy them for the simple reason that I enjoy them. I think that given history, the stock market over a time period will pay off better certainly hard gold will! I know it isn't much fun to hold some paper or a shiney piece of a rock, but it's the truth in today's world. If the money in question truly is disposable, or liquid, then by all means buy some guns to enjoy. Leave them to your estate, 'cause the memories your family will have of you with them are priceless! The memories you take with you in their use will be something you can't put a $$ sign on no matter how hard you try. Life is far too fragile and short to worry about turning disposable income into a fortune, with out something to hold and enjoy paper money is no better than the Charmin you wipe with!!
