Don’t feel too bad. The SKS has appreciated pretty well also... :)

Russion SKSs are selling at the local gun shows for 4X what I paid years ago, and Chinese versions for 3X. Unfortunately, mine were lost in a boating accident. If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all!

At one show in the early 90’s, a guy had a whole table of British Lee-Enfield SMLE rifles for $69 each. I bought one to check it out with the intention of coming back for more if the barrel was good (they were all packed with cosmoline). It was great, but I never found any more after that. I wish I’d bought a bunch of them, and lots of SKSs...

"British Lee-Enfield SMLE rifles for $69 each."
