Also, How often do thin ASH 1 get made new from Busse? (just a rough guess)
About once or twice every 2007-2008, I'd guess.

Fair enough. Until someone posted it earlier, It hadn't occurred to me that all these Busse were one time releases. I'm slow like that, But I make up for it by being really fat and generally not that good looking.About once or twice every 2007-2008, I'd guess.

Got me beat. I'm just fat and ugly.
Probably a Euro Basic 4
I sure do remember those days, like when the SHBM factory price was $297 (in my infinite wisdom, I waited until they went much higher on the secondary market before buying one ).Any of you guys remember back to a time when $300 or $400 for a Busse, or really any knife was just an astronomical price to pay and never really saw yourself getting one?
THAT there is the dangerLike many things - you ease into it. My first Bussekin was a CS RMD. Paid $250 back in 2013. Now I buy Busse’s that cost three times as much, with the same nonchalance as purchasing a Hamburger.
There’s ways to do it, of course. And we all spend our earnings in different ways. I live a pretty inexpensive lifestyle. No fancy restaurants. Have plenty of clothes. Driving the same Nissan Pickup I purchased new in 1990. Still in great shape. And I’ve always saved, and invested, wisely.
I wish I had more Bussekin than the handful I possess. But there’s always more coming down the pike. Good luck to you all.
Good question, those FN FAL's were never on my radar. I didn't even know I needed one until 2000/2001 well into the Clinton ban. I think I paid $750 for my 1st one, a Century Arms, on a Gear Logo Imbel rec. and of course it in typical CAI form it had a stripped out gas block, so it would blow the tube every round fired.
Ah yes, the import ban, forgot about that one. Truth be told I can't keep them all strait anymore. I've got a good feel for NFA 34 and GCA 68 but the other's all run together.I think that would be Bush's 1989 import ban, when the ATF decided things Clinton would later call "assaults' weapons" weren't importable because they weren't sporting. That's when we got all those butt-ugly thumbhole stocks on AKs, FALs, etc. Clinton's ban wasn't until 199
