I would give anything (short of my soul) to be able to collect... however, financially it's just not possible for me.  I have only a couple Krags - my WW1 Vet (which was given to me) and my sporter.  I have a Garand, a 1903A3, a Type 99 Arisaka, a K31, and the SMLE that my Dad purchased for me in February.  I shoot everything that I have.  I'll inherit my Dad's 1873 Carbine and his 1873 Bannerman Trapdoor rifle when Dad passes.  If anything happens to me... it all goes to my son.  I'd LOVE to get another Krag so I can use it for Matches and retire my WW1 Krag (it's getting a little beat up)... but since I'm not swimming in cash, I'll have to just settle for the way things are for the time being.

When I hear guys talk about going to the CMP and buying 10 Garands a year... and I can't afford to buy one... it just breaks my heart, especially with the way prices keep going up on this stuff!  Anyway, I hope one day I'll fall into a windfall and things will be different.  Until then... it'll have to continue to be hope!
