i do remember when the swedes first hit here, they were about 69bucks too.
Having J&G sales ten minutes from your house, and having friends there helps a lot too. Sort of.
it is coming to an end in the sense after the early 50's select fire weapons came into vogue. and those are not going to come in.
what has generally happened was the really good mil/surp hit first with lesser quality as the supply dries up.
ammo is the same way.
at one time i could get a mosin in good shape for about 49bucks, and 1200rounds of ammo for about 70bucks. The turkish mausers i think were at 39bucks and ammo about the same.
