True enough, but can you buy one of the rifles you named for $125.00 or less?

True also they are cheap in cost a sks, mosin all work and sure beats no firearm at all.
They make a good militia weapon for the masses that can’t afford more.
They make a good weapon to give away just so some one is armed that is willing to fight.
One of them and 50 to 100 rounds of ammo would make a freedom fighters day.
