I heard obama signed a embargo on Russian guns to somehow punish the Russian government.
Dont think the government will care instead of selling mosins, aks, sks and the like to Americans as range guns they'll just sell them all over the worlds dirty little wars and end up in extremists or child soldiers hands just like they been doing. Almost like theres some other motive to the embargo....
Anyway politics aside it got me thinking about all those stories i heard about 80$ sks and other really cheap surplus guns gone b4 my time.
i have been told springfields and kar98s were once as cheap as the mosin is now sometimes cheaper but for alot of reasons the supply dryed up and the price rose.
Many of the dirt cheap surplus firearms come from the world war and early cold war era when new firearm designs made old ones obsolete.
This still happens all the time most recently i think with nato rifles like the fal or g3 flooding third world markets once they were replaced. But modern surplus firearms dont seem to be affordable in the states.
My qestion is does anybody think that there will ever be affordable surplus guns as cheap and plentiful as the mosin is now 10 20 years down the line.
I dont think so given the political climate but id like someone to tell me im wrong
