How hard is it to pick up carbines in Luxembourg?  I was stationed in the Netherlands for 7 yrs and once supported a 2 week long army mission in the CEC site that used to be there (1990's) While there, I did not get into collecting until after I left the army.

It is not overly difficult. There are quite some carbines around you just need to find the good ones. We have a lot of M1Carbine competitions in Luxembourg and theerfore most of the carbines that you find in the shops are shooters rather than collectibles. But from time to time collectors are selling parts of their collections or family members who inherited weapons are trying to get rid of them due to the lack of interest and then you find some really nice stuff. In addition there were still carbines coming from armed forces depots, mainly from Italy, but it is getting less now.

Luxembourg authorities are quite ok when you register your weapons, it takes some time but it works.
