Yeah, I've seen the Yugos going for that much too. No idea what the infatuation is. If you keep your ear to the ground you can still catch surplus-y Chinese in the low $300's if you jump on them when the sellers put them up.
It was the mid 90s they had trouble. Mags are out there, pricey but not unobtainably pricey (e.g., $44 per mag, we have been spoiled by magpul).
I suspect unless new bans come up that we will see more SLR104s and SLR106s in the future. Then you have the very awesome Engage EA5.45 but those depend on the availability of parts kits.

Where are they now? All going somewhere in the middle east?
Assume you are referring to the rifle in this video:

Arsenal has historically produced, paused, produced paused all its product lines. They run what they can based on what they can import. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it but I bought my first Arsenal in 1998 (an SLR95) and have acquired a number of others since. Ive never talked to one of them but I would say from a marketing perspective the intermittent releases works and keeps demand and prices high while producing less overall units (more $ per unit which is good if you are dealing with a finite amount of parts kits).
Engages EA5.45's are nice guns I have handled a few at their shop, assembly quality is every bit if not better than Arsenal and finish is head and shoulders above (most are ceracoted instead of the Arsenal finish which will dissolve with the wrong solvent). Only reason I haven't bought one is they haven't made the configuration I am looking for.

I guess you could call them that, anyone that has used that round would call them useless nails.
