Well, i have 40 modelguns at last count maybe more, I guess that i need to count them again I have been collecting modelguns off and on since 1978/79 and actively collecting them since 2000. My collection consists of mostly machineguns and pistols there are some pictures of my collection on my modelgun site.

It looks like you need to speed up your buying if you want to beat the new proposed laws that parlament is going to force down your throats

I have been collecting for about 18 months and have about 37 models, 13 are machine gun and assault rifle, 4 revolvers and the rest are semi auto handguns and i have a few more items in the pipline since finding out that we can keep what we have. I had stopped buying (silly me) but now i am looking at getting more while i can.

That would be a great trick to have 11 Thompsons and expensive too
You truly have a nasty new regulation to deal with in a few months or so. Get them while you can or sell off the ones that you don't really want and get your favorites now. In a way, the new laws that you will face are like the laws that the Japanese have. Good luck on your collecting

No mark 2 thompsons, SELL OFF!!! the guns i dont want, i want all my guns and a lot more. I did stop buying as i thought they would take them off use but now it seems we can keep what we have just cant buy anymore, so i am in the process of getting what i can.

The thing is with all the new models that are slowly being released i am sure they will bring out more golden oldies that would be must haves for a colletor and possibly some new models (MP5?) and not being able to buy them is going to be hard to accept.

The "Sell off" quote was a joke really as who in their right minds would do such a thing? I try to trade for wanted modelguns myself but, that doesn't work here. I don't know if they will ever release a MP5 but, who really knows? So, when this new law is passed it will eliminate the importation only right? Or?

Jay,

I have video of the Shoei FG42 firing and it is awesome to watch although the rounds are very expensive and they rarely sell the PFC version of these FG42's most of the ones that i have seen for sale are the display versions.
