7.3 is all down to "good reason" and the most common is part of a collection.
There is a guy whos a Germans in ww2 fanatic, got the vehicles got the full authentic uniform and wanted the sidearm to add to his collection.
A collector of Enfields is applying to add some Webleys to his military rifle collection.
A film buff, wants to add to his collection of all the guns used in 007 films.
I have all the muzzle loaders used by US army pre and post civil war, my next to add is a S&W Scofield.
We have a collector of all the AMT products, most of his are currently abroad but he wants to bring them back over here. That a historical collection and on technical grounds.
We have another who collects historical target pistols.
Another has the collection of literature and a comprehensive knowledge and would like to add the actual firearm.
Nobody should suggest to a person what their collection should consist of its an individual thing and they would then have to satisfy their firearms department of their legitimacy.
Its not even about shooting them for many owners, they get them out, clean them and discuss them with other collectors then put them away again. Theres no competition other than comparison against others.
