    surplus

    I think prices would stay around where they are now. These countries have found out that surplus is a money maker, so they will not close them out like they used to. There have been several lots of SVT's and Winchester 7.62 M95 muskets offered for sale, but no importer could afford to bring them over as of yet.

    BTW, why is the ammo on the blog site Serbian?

    Komoda ammo is PPU which is from Serbia.

    Is it the Cyrillic lettering that has him all confused? Many languages use the Cyrillic alphabet.

    (This counts are as your cultural awareness lesson for the day)

    Why not, I'd like to have an SVT. I think the comment earlier about prices staying the same may be on the money. Guns are big money now, but I would like to see more come in and drop the $$.

    If anything did happen where large amounts of quality arms could be brought in and sold at good prices, you know US govt will get involved and stop it or somehow screw it up as quickly as possible.

    AFAIK, in Canada these are pretty reasonably priced. Due to limited supply, they're pretty salty here.

    If and when it does happen, it will be at least four years in the future. Mosin prices will be on the average of $149 on the low side by then. The days of $49 mosins are long gone and soon will be the $99 days.

    I would love to see more Russo pistols come in.
