Before 86 the price of machineguns did not rise because of $200 tax and transfers, just like the fact that silencers do not rise in value for that reason.
Why would anyone pay extra when they could just buy a new production machinegun any day.
There would have been an increase in guns that were no longer current production but not in common guns.
In 1986 Auto Ord Tommy Guns were $450 each if you bought 10 and SWD M11 9 SMGs were around $150 each, so no one was going to pay extra for those.
Something like an original Winchester BAR would bring an increased value.
