The Best Gun Investment You Can Make

Written By Frank Goepfert

If you're looking for the best gun investment, skip the hype and look at the hard facts: most semi-auto firearms lose 30–40% of their value the moment you walk out of the store. But there’s one class of firearm that bucks the trend, transferable machine guns.

Why Semi-Auto Guns Lose Value

Let’s be honest. You can spend $3,000 on a tricked-out AR-15, but try selling it used, and you’ll likely get pennies on the dollar. Semi-autos are mass-produced, easily accessible, and highly affected by market saturation. For gun buyers who care about long-term value, this is a losing proposition.

The One Gun That Consistently Gains Value

Enter the Class 3 transferable machine gun. These are not just rare, they’re federally limited, collectible, and in constant demand. When Congress passed the Firearm Owners' Protection Act in 1986, they capped the number of machine guns that could ever be legally transferred to civilians. The result? Scarcity. And in the investment world, scarcity equals value.

Look at the numbers:

  • M16 rifle: $8,000 in 2010 → now worth over $30,000

  • HK MP5: Values appreciating like a Rolex because they’re just as collectible

  • Uzi, MAC-10, AK variants, all climbing steadily in price year after year

While stocks crash and cryptos dip, transferable machine guns continue to climb even during uncertain economic times.

It's Not Just an Investment, It's a Blast

Let’s not forget the best part: you get to shoot it. A transferable full-auto firearm is one of the few investments you can actually enjoy along the way. Whether it’s a classic M16 or a belt-fed beast, you’re not just buying a piece of history, you’re unlocking an adrenaline-pumping experience.
