What do you guys think? We may be at the end of the line on these...
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.
At this late stage in the game there is no reason not to believe them.
Mine, will be here on Monday so we will see how beat it is! O well can't beat the price!

I do I do. What showed up? Complete? Much Rust? etc?
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!
COOL. Makes me want to try one.
RTI's stock status shows 21-C grades left. price is 219.00
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. :(
Well, the mailman dropped off my RTI sks today, better than I expected it is all matching 1957 6digit /26\ rifle except the stock which is not numbered, full of trench art.. it does have surface rust but no pitting...I will get her cleaned up and snap some shots off it.
Nice... lets see that puppy. :)
I rolled the dice again and ordered a C-grade from RTI. I'm hoping for some trench art on mine. I Would like to see some photos of these carbines with all the different trench art. Maybe start a thread on it.
Classic now shows to be out of B-grades. I'm glad I didn't wait to order till after Christmas. My RTI C-grade should be here tomorrow. :)

Classic had 80 B-grades yesterday. Unless one of the mods just took out a mortgage another vendor snatched these up.

Definitely sounds plausible. They may just be shutting things down for a break over Christmas and want to make sure they don't oversell too. I've been getting emails from various places (got one from SGAmmo a while ago) saying they'll be shutting down over the holidays...
Just going by what website shows. RM, that could be the case or they are down to C-grades and are going to advertise them after Christmas.
Yup. Classic's page is usually better updated when compared to some of the other guys. thumb1
We're most certainly seeing the last of this batch, and possibly the entire importable cache.
Dear Albania-Claus, Please send more cool stuff from your island... :)
FedEx just delivered a C-grade from RTI. 6digit receiver in the 200000's. All parts match but in the 100,000's. Replacement stock is a bottom swivel marked in the 100,000's but doesn't match and has a long crack down left side that can be fixed. Bluing looks good very little rust. Also stock is not beat up very bad. Very nice for a C I think. MERRY CHRISTMAS to all!

Marshal-law I think a thread dedicated to trench art is a great idea? C'mon...someone get started on it please!
