Don't look for the Russianicon Capture K98kicon's to be worth a lot in your lifetime. As something gets older it does not necessarily become worth a lot of money. A good example is the U.S. Model 1873 Trapdoor rifle. First made in 1873, and made for approximately 20 years with less than 700,000 being made. Virtually new original examples have gone up in value, but average used Trapdoors can still be purchased in the $500 range. Except for rare examples, the U.S. Kragicon enjoys about the same popularity and value.
