Just gonna leave this here, pic taken at gun show in Florida today....

Yeah ... and CMP once sold Garands for $99 each. We need to try to think ahead of the market. I still think that sub-$200 Mosins are probably a good investment.

So how much was the Saiga?

From the same table? Time to cue the song "I've Got High Hopes!"...

At the Nations gun show when they were about 100 bucks I almost pulled the string, but there were so many other things on my list that I passed them up. Obviously, now I see it would have been good to go ahead and grab one.

Probably true. I'm not sure how much they are because when my dad and I bought ours the were around 300. So I was just curious what the top of the market is for them.

And don't get me started on the $100 SKS rifles going unsold on the tables way back when.

Machodoc, you have it right.

I could only wish that I could have bought more $80 mosins back in the day, but what can you do now.... . When I get back to the states I may let some of my nicer mosins go since prices seem to be up right now. Talked to my contact a century about 2 weeks ago, and he told me he does not see any more coming in, now or the future.

I've been seeing the "as imported" 7.62x39's go for 400-500 lately. Crazy.

Glad I grabbed mine from Classic for 299.99 back in the day. Excellent rifles.

Yea I am kicking myself in the pants for not grabbing one of those back then. 299 was a great deal for those

 

[Sirex]

I've seen a couple local T53s for that, and a regular 91/30, with a bubba'd 91/30 at $375 for good measure.

Where in Florida is this Gun Show? What's it called?

The show was at the West Palm Beach Fairgrounds. While this particular dealer felt his merchandise was particularly valuable, there were several others offering good prices.

I picked up a Ruger Mark I bull barrel target pistol, which looked like it was new and in the box for $275, and a Ruger LC9s Pro for $300.

And those prices were OTD.
