[QUOTE="Centre Punch, post: 99700, member: 3048"] Here in the UK they are called arms fairs, mainly selling military rifles and the British peculiarity....The de-activated firearm! This is so collectors can collect without a Licence. I once came across a Union Switch and Signal 1911 A1 De-act, that the vendor was selling for $1200, i said to this guy, "i cant believe that you are selling a worthless piece of junk ( thats all it is when it has been de-act)for such a high price" He said to me "But its a USSC" Many fine firearms are being destroyed at the hands of the de-activators to meet the demand of the collectors who cannot be bothered to apply for a licence. I went a bit of track there, most of the guns for sale at UK arms fairs are overpriced junk but there are the occasional gems to be found, so for i have come away with a vintage Puma Skinner for $45 and 2 pots of shooters choice copper remover for $2.
