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 going to make him an offer he can't refuse......

Leave the gun, take the cannoli.

I said I was an addict........I didn't say I had a problem

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.
      
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.

At this late stage in the game there is no reason not to believe them.

I received one two weeks ago.  Very pleased with it.  I have another scheduled for delivery today.  D grade that I bought for $149.

I do I do. What showed up? Complete? Much Rust? etc?

Adam7

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!

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.  :(
