If the Brits really do want to sell Smith, then we should exercise some American motivation and determination and BUY IT BACK. I figure with nearly 5000 registered TFLr's, all we'd need to do is pony up about $10,000 each and we can put an offer on the table. Actually, I don't have that kind of money, but if someone "spots" me my share, I would be willing to do all the field/long term testing that needs to be done on all the firearms we produce. I would be willing to shoulder this burden from the rest of you.
