How do i get my info to the OP so he/she can get my 5K on the way? I would prefer a money order. Not that I don't trust you but checks have been known to bounce.

Lol as the saying goes "the checks in the mail"

1981 model year. The last year they made them in Nickel. She is shiny! I have never pulled a smoother double action trigger in all my life. I am after a couple more as soon as I get my check.

Well, mine is easy. I already did it. Ordered my custom SVI Infinity 2011 in 9mm for IDPA. Took 15 months to get it and love if for every penny I paid. Shoots like a dream.

Wow!! Very nice! I like that a lot.

One problem. I am beginning to think we aren't going to get our checks.

But, per the OP, you don't get the money unless you spend it on guns. So those 40 year old guns are more valuable than the $0 value you would have if you didn't buy the guns. Of course no one is giving anyone $5000 to do anything with anyway so it's really a moot point.

Guns are a fairly liquid asset (easily sold) and thus an investment choice is still on the table. Which asset to own - guns versus mutual fund - is always a choice.

I chose guns about 40 years ago. I've managed a respectable average annual return. Best return has been in double guns and rifles from 2nd tier British makers and Colt pistols and revolvers. Need I add that collecting guns has been lots more fun than reviewing my portfolio?
