BUYING WEAPONS AS AN INVESTMENT : TIPS AND TRICKS FOR A PROFITABLE ACQUISITION

If the weapon does not suit him during operation or he simply "outgrows" it professionally - I would like to bail out at least some money for the unit sold, which covered part of the costs in AIT arms. However, we are also approached by those for whom the purchase of weapons with their subsequent sale has become, if not a business, then some field for investment. Learn more information about this.

Unlike computers, smartphones and cars, weapons age and, as a result, depreciate much more slowly. Moreover, some models, after some time, can significantly add to the price. In Russia, there is a very strict weapons legislation, therefore, all investments in firearms are aggravated by the need to obtain appropriate licenses, permits for AIT arms.

In addition, the owner of the weapon must be crystal-law abiding and not have problems with the law in the field of arms trafficking, must not abuse alcohol and be physically healthy. Is it worth the candle? There are many options, and the first of them is the constant tightening of the Federal Law "On Weapons".

The most ambitious example is the introduction of amendments to the law on July 1, 2011, which limited the muzzle energy of civilian self-defense firearms (firearms of limited destruction - OOOP) to 91 J with a simultaneous ban on the import of OOOP from abroad.

The excitement in the first half of 2011 for traumatic weapons was the peak in its entire history. Moreover, many bought imported self-defense weapons and domestic PM-T for all free lines in the LO a series license. They also bought huge quantities of cartridges for this weapon in AIT arms.

After waiting some time after July 1, 2011, these weapons began to surface in private sales announcements. A year later, the price tag for prohibited import "foreign cars" increased at least twice , for PM-T fivefold, for cartridges 5-10 times. Moreover, the owner has no right to sell cartridges, but he can sell them along with the weapon upon re-registration.

Until recently, such a kit could be found on sale: for example, a Tanfoglio INNA pistol and 100-200 "pre-reform" cartridges for it. As a result, the new owner absolutely legally acquires a pistol with cartridges, whose muzzle energy is obviously higher than the allowable 91 J.

This business is flourishing now, but on a much more modest scale. The majority of those who bought traumatic weapons before the entry into force of the amendments to the law, the deadline for re-registration of weapons approached. Most of the users bought it before the prohibitive measures of the law for AIT arms, which at the same time obliged the owners of self-defense to pass a test of knowledge of the rules of safe handling of weapons.

Obtaining medical certificates, checking knowledge, adhering to storage conditions are factors that a decent percentage of owners do not need to overcome. Therefore, such owners (most often just before the end of the license) put their weapons up for sale,

thereby significantly losing relative to their market value.2016 also brought a surprise to gun lovers: in May, the State Duma is considering a bill prohibiting the conversion of military small arms into civilian weapons, including those withdrawn from service . The bill has already been approved in the first reading.
