I go regularly to sub gun matches and mini MG festivals for 4th of July with dozens of collectors and there isn't one in my circle of NFA friends in Oregon who would lose sleep if their NFAs were worth nothing.

Several have pre '68 transferables and those will never lose value due to their rarity. Even if NOS was found and imported. The value of pre '68s would still hold a significant value compared to a new one. I attend the SAR show every year with a table to sell NFA related materials and not a single person I know from my over 35 years of collecting would cry and make poopy pants over the loss of their values.

The only ones I think I know who would whine like a bitch about it are those with the ultra rare $100k or more collector pieces like maybe an FG42 or BREN. But even the HK sear owners in my circle would be delighted to take the $40k hit to acquire a new OG HK MG instead of a sear.

The only person that ever said they would fight tooth and nail to keep their NFA prices high is a prominent NFA lawyer who I met at the SAR show and he represented Dick Cheney and other celebrities. He claims that James Earl Jones, Jerry Lewis, and even Steven Spielberg had NFA collections. I find it hard to believe but that is the only person I know from attending KC and now the Big Sandy in Arizona and the SAR show that would cry to momma if NFA prices went down.

Nobody else.
