Bren L4A3

[Vincent]

The scarcity of parts kits here at the moment is partially due to the rising popularity of deacs in Europe. It has driven prices of semi-auto guns made from those parts kits like the Bren, MG42 and BAR up considerably.

Here the prices of registered transferable machineguns have risen considerably. It’s a situation very much like what you are seeing with old spec deacts in the UK. When the law changed here no more transferable machineguns could be produced. The ones that were out there at the time are it. There will be no more made. The limited supply has led to ever increasing prices and there’s no end in sight. The only way prices could come down is if the law was changed to allow new production of transferable machineguns and the supply was increased. I am betting that’s not going to happen in my lifetime.

Over here the relaxation of firearms laws is very rare. Increasing restrictions is the norm and as much as I dislike that it has created some great investment opportunities.

That’s how it has worked over here. Things may be different there, but I have a feeling Peter is correct. Once the supply of old spec deacts is gone the prices will climb to staggering levels.
