Yeah but it’s gonna be an arm and a leg for what they are. I love my SKS’s too, but Russians are about $900 rn, type 56 Chinese are about $750-$850, and French ticklers are about $900-$1000 pre tax.

Low key been thinking about trying to figure out where in the world (literally out of country) I could find crates of them and import myself as it’s probably more economical depending on the importing hoops and custom fees.

Unfortunately most of the stores were located in the eastern part of the country, as the Soviets strategically located them away from the hypothetical front line during the Cold War, so they became impossible to access after 2014.
