After the cosmetic ban went into effect the value of his rifle rose to well over $1000. After the law was sunsetted it became just another used gun.

He could have sold it and made a tidy profit to a panic buyer. If he wanted he could replace it at half the cost now.

Unless you plan to shoot someone, a quality gun is a commodity that trades at a market price. Buy low, sell high.
