It limits them to an existing pool, no new ones. So instant collectors value.

It costs probably five bucks more to turn out a M16 over my AR-15's. (In fact, since mine are pre-86 AR's, it actually cost MORE in labor costs to reduce them to AR-15's, because they all came off the same assembly line.
