I don't think much  :) , but like any item that is surplus, the supply line will empty, maybe a small lot here and there will follow. The main quantity over the past few years is now gone, get them while the getting is good. There is never a infinite supply of surplus arms, one day Mosins will vanish as well.

I'm sure they are....    15k in the cai batch and a report of a possible 6-7k from IO.  20k sks from a small nation... I doubt there are any left.

Zero rust excellent bluing all matching with broken stock.  I was able to epoxy the stock back together.  Very happy.  It was a c grade for $189.

Never ask an addict if he wants more!!

I just want to see what the last 3 or 400 guns look like. The last CAIs were swept up off the warehouse floor, sawdust and all!!  chuckles1

Yeah, I'm not expecting much, the bottom of the barrel normally are pretty rough I would guess... But who knows.

It's a 2xx,xxx /26\.

Mailman just dropped off my D grade.

All matching 7mil.  Some rust but not that bad.  Bluing looks good.  Stock looks great.  Has a nasty looking sling on it.  I like it!

That sling is (was) pretty funky...it might be the missing belt from my KISS bathrobe. 

I wonder if they will sell me the last crate and whatever fell off of these for a nice price.  Sniffing my SKS's buttholes for that sweet smell of cosmo is getting old...  rofl2

Whenever even the crummiest of crummies have shown up lately, I have not been in a position to buy.  :(
