But my point is collectors really don't put big money into those things. A "registered receiver" conversion AR-15 will have the bottom drop out even if it is a no longer produced SP1 variant. But a true M-16A1 will hold nearly all it's value regardless of any changes in the NFA law because there won't be anymore. You can add clones to the registry but the number of original "collectible" machine guns like M-16s, Thomspson, M3s, BARs and Lewis Guns will continue to only go up and up.
The guys who will sweat their investments are those who have sear conversions, registered tube guns, non collectible receiver conversions or things like MAC 10s simply because they were made in such large numbers.
Eventually the prices on the collector and museum pieces would rise again, but the reason they are so valuable is because they are transferrable. If "MG" ban went away tomorrow you can't tell me that all those dealer sample MG's hitting the market wouldn't be a giant blow to the value of a good portion of the MG market. Pre-may dealer samples sell for half or less than fully transferrable examples.
