If it is a gun you "have to have" get it if money isn't a problem. Nothing worse than thinking "man I really should have gotten that, and now it's gone".
If you don't you will be on the look out for the next 10 years hunting for the same thing and it may be worth more money thus beginning the rump kicking session we have all endured from ourselves.
That being said, if it is merely as an investment, I would think their are other better returns on your $1000 you could make. Especially considering that a lot of the extensive firearms collections get handed down to kids who would rather have the money and end up selling them off for 1/2 of their value in the end.
One other thing to consider is that a lot of the guns out of productions still have parts availability (I think). If REMINGTON doesn't really step up the game you may have a problem there. Perhaps you won't need the parts, but a potential buyer would probably not care much for the thought of buying a pistol that is out of production and parts are near impossible to find. PROBLEM CHILD comes to mind. I don't want to be sitting on 3 Rohrbaughs personally. Their are a lot of other cool guns out there. Ask MRC or Richard of some other interesting stuff to look at if you care to.
I plan on using the pieces I hand down so that they have a bit of personal value, but that's me. Just opinions : )
Have fun sorting it all out. Let us know what you decide on please.
