While that used to be true, AK-47/AK-74/etc. types of rifles are typically multiple times more expensive than AR-15s these days.

Whoa, yeah, just checked. AR-15 prices have really crashed. Glad I talked my dad out of using them as an "investment".

Investment quality ars are still holding value fine. The cheap ar rifles are... well, cheaply made. Not my favorite feature of a firearm that rests next to your face while use.
