    OK,
    Ruble is falling, falling hard. For those who have experienced this back in 1998, what did the falling Ruble do to Mosins, surplus ammo, and other things C&R?
    Is anything getting out of Russia right now or being funneled out through other non-sanctioned countries?

    Interesting thought.............

    Given the Countries who would be likely funnels are probably NATO or NATO wannabe's I wonder how likely this is?

    Don't expect much. With lower sales here this year, it's a golden opportunity for importers and distributors to pocket themselves higher margins.

    It won't matter considering Obama or the ATF can ban imported guns and ammo on a whim for any reason whatsoever.

    Russia isn't backing down from the Ukraine and Obama is looking weak on the world stage so expect more sanctions like progressives do to "get something done" when their first round of fail doesn't work. Look at them to go after Russian ammo and private companies in Russia that deal with arms next.

    Buy up as much Russian stuff while you still can. Once the bans are in place they never go away. Remember Chinese rifles, handguns, and ammo? That was supposed to be "temporary" too but it is still going strong 20 years and counting.

    Plus you have some of our supposed allies in the gun industry secretly supporting these measures as well to stifle competition and force you to buy American only which is the end game of these executive orders since they never get rescinded and never will.
