    future collectables ????

    hi all
    i know this topic has been branded about before, but i cant remember what answers people gave
    so , what guns do you think are going to be collectable in the near future ??
    ( when i say near future i mean say in 10 years or more )
    my list / thoughts are :
    air arms pro-sport
    weihrauch hw98
    mk 1 rapid 7s
    early weihrauch hw97
    early weihrauch hw45

    A Daystate that works in the wet.
    Any Air Arms that doesn't have the blueing washed off.
    A BSA multi shot were the magazine works.
    A Logun S16 (mark 1) thats isn't jammed up.
    Any Theoben gas ram that doesn't leak.
    A Weihrauch without a butchered spring.
    Any Webley with a half decent trigger.
    Notice I never mentioned 'A.T.'

    Now, where did I put my bone dome?

    Speaking the obvious- those guns that are collectable now will continue to be in the future. I have a sneaky feeling that the pro sport in .22 will be the FWB 124 of the future

    Nice topic

    On the basis that H.M Government doesn't really like things with miltary styling or things that are just a bit too realistic then guns such as the Yunker AK47 Co2 and the Brocock AR11 Co2 will presumeably be harder to source. As with many things, the harder they are to acquire then the more collectable they become.

    Brocock AR11 and Junker AK47 i have both of them and will never let them go. Expensive to buy at the time but they dont cost anything to keep
