The days of cheap surplus SKS's are over. The days of cheap Mosan Nagants are over.
If you see deals, GRAB THEM.
I’m waiting for the days of cheap surplus SCAR17s....
I have some SKS’s I paid $100 for and some Mosins even less, some with the hex receivers and now they are pushing $300+ or more in some cases.
I hate the Yugo SKS with the grenade launcher, ugly things and the barrel is not chrome lined. I had a couple and traded one and some cash for a pristine S&W model 19 nickel finish .357. Good trade, as I love the Model 19.
