Yeah, 2 C-notes seems like a lot of money for a barreled action and a trigger group. 

There's so much schlock to sift through when you look at "Chinese SKS". I feel like a picker at the dump when I occasionally wade in

I don't understand the justification for some of these $600 to $750 guns.

Me neither, but there you have it. People are getting way aheaad of themselves. Market is overheated and due for a correction. Perhaps it will take a new import batch, but something's gotta give somewhere.
