I'm sure there is investors in this. The currio and relic market
has been ruined by investor types vs true gun collecters.

One example is last night's ad in the local rag for a Russian SKS
for only $700, no extras included at all. It's probably a beater,
too.

I wonder what these gun investors are thinking when they pay inflated
prices for these guns.

A) Who knows?

B) Who cares?

I think I've seen that ad in there before at that price, so it doesn't
look like it's selling. I got my SKS for $100 here in GP, a Norinko.

Along about '93 or '94 a small-dealer guy we knew was selling pre-ban
Rissians for just a little more than that . Norinco's were selling around 80
bucks at that time ... those Russians still have bayonets on em ! A feller
could make a handsome profit on those arms right now - if he valued money
more than the ability to defend himself ...
