[QUOTE="joegrizzy, post: 3622465, member: 45524"] in my opinion (which they tell me ain't even worth two cents anymore, but i tell them inflation means it has to be near a dollar!) the combloc market, unlike the ammo market, is more of a result of actual scarcity and not business induced panic. there are actual bans in place to prevent the $300 ak from ever being a thing ever again. same with the $50 mosin. there's literally no reason why a single round of brass 9mm cost .15c just two years ago and now it's .35c or .50c other than panic. yes, i know supply yada yada, the point is the stuff is being made. of course, more people buying, some going to law enforcement, i get it. more ammo is spread around than russian ak's, yes. but holy crap the panic is the main driver and anyone who argues otherwise misses me. this whole covid bs is just that; it's literally just bs. we could say "it's over" and it would be over tomorrow. it's just panic. that's not the same as an import ban that is straight up making import of certain things illegal. while there is constant legislation to do just this with ammo and other firearms, the fact we're seeing the results of an import ban from almost a decade ago at this point is really pushing that market into off the charts. and it ain't gonna get any better. imo, if you want an sks, you should most likely pay the $600 or $700 asking price. there was an absolute beauty on here just a week or so ago, it might still be available. i do NOT expect them to get any cheaper. also the left/right dynamic once more. we are seeing more left aligned people purchase firearms than ever, in fact they are pushing the "most gun sales ever" stats we keep seeing. we've always been buying guns, but now they are too. and these people can't overthrow the capitalist bourgie state with black plastic rifles, oh no, they have to have to combloc. they NEED it. i sold a tokarev to one on armslists. pretty sure she would have considered herself antifa. not like i saw her before the sale, just assumed she was a girl. that's when i realized what was happening.
