No, airguns are not firearms.....in general.
Now I think someone on this forum or another, pointed out that Rock Island was selling a bunch of antique air guns....I am quite sure if you bought one of those the value would sooner or later go up....but the current crop, nope. Perhaps in 300 years if the FX is still around it might be worth something, but 10-20-50 years on like firearms nope....great big bucket of nope.
I have never lost money on a firearm, always made money, be it an early Marlin 60 with no sn#, Savage, or Milsurp.....even look at SKS or mosin at one time those sold for sub $100 those same guns are 3-4X that now.....and up. You will not find an air gun do anything like that.
I will say it was a good try at airgun snobbery however.
There is a point where you get what you pay for, then you pay for a name....it is up to you where that line is for YOU, however when you try to sell it, you might find people think you are out of line and not priced reasonable.....the chance you take when you shell out multi thousands on an air gun that is counting on its name.
