With the price of mosin's and their ammo slowly going up, what is going to be the next in line of the cheap milsurp?
Ditto, you're not likely to encounter another surplus weapon as inexpensive and mass produced as the Mosin (17 million + rifles). I think after the stockpiles have eventually dried up, the days of "cheap" surplus rifles will have come and gone...
No chance the AK falls out of favor and a large portion of the 75 million get shipped over and lower the price?
I'm no expert on the importation laws regarding AK's so this might be incorrect; but I do not think that it is legal to import fully assembled surplus AK variants into the US. I believe most rifles that you see are either early pre-ban imports or rifles assembled from parts kits here in the US after importation. Regardless, I don't think our govt would be particularly interested in anyone aquiring the weapons from the individuals that are currently stockpiling them.
Or maybe the military will get tired of their Barrett .50's and liquidate them
If someone is dedicated enough to guns to want a coffee table full of Mosins, then that person would probably appreciate the unique aroma. Just like living in an old warehouse stockpile.
