I grabbed this one a few days ago in SE MO. for $400. Figured I better get one now, they're only getting more expensive. This one is a rather nice piece.

Looks like a rather nice 1977 Type 56 from a rather scarce arsenal.

Nice looking rifle.  The receiver markings look like they are finely etched (acid etching) instead of stamped, at least to me. Very nice catch.
Yes, they are getting more expensive.  Talked to a guy today at a LGS who
1. couldn't believe I collected the "dumb" things,
2. couldn't believe what they are going for now, and
3. had to make the obligatory, "why, I remember.....". 
Yeah, don't we all. 
Well, SM, just like the rest of us, you're hooked thumb1.

Very nice!
That's a really pretty one.

And you're right, they're not gonna get any cheaper.

1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms... It doesn't matter how many Lenins you get out on the street begging for them to be taken.

As you talk to people around you about it, don't be surprised if someone announces that they have "one a them things" in a closet at home.......
Be ready to buy when that happens.
