I lamented the days of cheaper firearms and ammo back in the late 1980’s, until someone reminded me that this was more than 25 years ago. Inflation factors in a lot, for that long a time period.

Would you pay $426.00 for a new Chinese Norinco MAK 90 or 140.00 for 1440 rounds of 7.62X39 today?
That is what $250.00 for a MAK 90 and 1440 rounds of 7.62X39 (70 boxes) would cost in 1992 in 2016 inflated dollars. I think so. The political costs are not factored in cost increases with inflation comparisons. The political anti gun atmosphere adds greatly.
