There is a wealth of guns to be had in South America, but not in large collections.
I've actually been thinking about this for years but haven't quite figured out a way to go about it.
There are lots and lots of "sock drawer" pistols in SA. Old lemon squeezers and the like.
Because of the economic situation in most SA countries, owners of these guns would jump at the chance to sell them because they need the money and no one there has the money to buy them.
But a very large percentage of these weapons are "off the grid", so owners are reluctant to even make anyone aware they have them, let alone offer them for sale.
An ad in a newspaper offering to buy guns would probably get an incredible response if owners had some kind of guarantee the local constabulary wouldn't be waiting for them.
At the turn of the century there were many Europeans who moved to SA and stayed for various reasons and having no gun laws in SA at the time, they brought many guns with them and purchased even more.
These guns were passed on to subsequent generations and as a rule are in very good condition.
There is a lot of potential there, but the problem is digging them out and getting them out.
