I searched to see if there were posts in here regarding how and when these former service rifles like the SKS, Mosin, Mausers, M1 Garands (if we were allowed to actually lay hands on these in a reasonable manner) amongst others "come up" in mass quantities seemingly at one time. I think the history is very interesting especially for these rifles that 80-130 years later in some cases still make great shooters. Does someone open up a bunker Indiana Jones style and see a million rifles? Do the governments just wholesale these out after a certain point in time?
Is there a link on the history as to how these caches are discovered? Please no wikipedia (unless only real source) as I think half of that stuff is made up
What is the next great cache that might come up or in the proces of coming up that is a good shooter with a modern manufacture ammo and a C&R?
I'd love to get the Mosin story and see if there are any caches of old Springfields 30-06's that came up or are coming up etc. like from the Phillipines or somewhere that are reasonably priced.
