Would have to be the converted Sig right?

[chickenfried]

Most expensive is not necessarily the most difficult to aquire. Assuming he didn't buy the bren ten last week

Would have to be the converted Sig right?

Which one was the hardest to aquire?

Hardest to acquire or hardest to replace now? The Sig was among the easiest to acquire since I actually bought it here on Calguns. Buying another would be much more difficult.

The S&W's are difficult because of age and roster issues. I've never seen another 1026 for sale in CA. The 5" 610 would be difficult to replace as well but in my case I bought it sitting new in a dealer's case 20 years ago.

The STI Perfect 10 was probably the most difficult simply due to roster/dealer issues. There aren't that many out there and it needed to be converted to single shot for import. Fortunately a fellow calgunner helped me with a great solution for it. There's enough single shot solutions available now that even getting a CBOB or Javelina from out of state is easy enough.

The Bren Ten is a C&R now so can be easily imported and they show up for sale regularly out of state. The toughest thing to replace might be the extra Bren mags that I have.

Actually going out to find a Javelina or some of the others would be very difficult but in my case I wasn't really looking for them in particular. I've just been able to acquire them as I find them. Technically I guess the 1076 would be the hardest to acquire since I had to wait 21 years for it!

Please school me: how exactly is the BrenTen considered C&R?

BTW, your picture(s) seem to have disappeared!
