Thank you for the above post. this disposal policy may explain why Britishicon Army Militaria and D/A weapons are rapidly rising in value. At a time when the Government is skint. They could sell No5 bayonets to UK dealers , for a tidy sum for each one. Instead of getting £150 a tonne scrap metal. We as British Tax payers bought this equipment. So we should be able to use it. They would get more money than scrap value for an SLR rifle or Stirling SMG if they sold them to a D/A gun dealer. My SLR cost £300 D/A and My Stirling,Stirling cost £270!
Apologies to every one for moaning.

Kind regards, Lester
