The CORRECT Way To Collect Milsurp Firearms

I love collecting military surplus guns! But looking back, I’d be a lot more proud of my collection—and it would probably be a lot more valuable—if I had put more thought into it when I first jumped into the hobby. Firearms and history are two of my favorite things, so naturally, it was easy to become a milsurp gun nut. I jumped into collecting headfirst, ‘investing’ most of my savings in just a couple of years. It was a sickness—I was picking up anything and everything, often without doing enough research or considering the long-term challenges of maintaining a collection. These days, I try to be far more thoughtful, but like everyone, I still make mistakes. In this video, I’ll break down some of the biggest mistakes I made as a collector (and that many others make, too). From impulse buys and disorganized collecting to missing key research, these pitfalls can leave you with a mess of a collection, an empty wallet, and regret. Let's get correct and stop collecting wrong. Thanks for Watching!
