A few small questions on Sturmgewehr

[DonVoigt]

Alvin,
You just do not understand the "domain" of FA weapons.

The legal supply in the US is FIXED and cannot increase. In any domain where the supply is fixed the "quality" and price are not so important to the person who wants the item.

It is a matter of having an item that will shoot a lot fast- and not many "others" can have one.

I would estimate that fully 50% of the legal FA weapons available are assembled from parts- including from cut and re-welded receivers and re-worked barrels ; the "pristine" examples bring even more money than these "mongrels".

Due to the fixed supply, relatively high demand, and legal red tape to sell or to buy; these items do not change hands freely. So when one is available it is a true "seller's" market.
