650 seems like the lowest they go for on gunpost, even that is way too fucking high. Funny because sks's priced at 650 always have "low price for quick sale" in the desc. I'd buy one for 500 max

Right when I wanted to pick up a Chinese beater for a side project the prices jumped 😢

Haha...me too. I wanted a FT to throw into a Fab defence stock. It's way too much now

Oof I wish. Prices now from the store  are like 750 and up. So 650 is definitely a competitive price.

Is it worth 650 though? Probably. But I have a hard time imagining buying one at 750-800+ 

Seems like better options for the price

If theyre russian in good shape they move super easy at 800 for us on consignment.

What other proven, reliable, 7.62x39 semis exist in Canada?

It's no different to seem Valmets sell for $5-$15k.

And they use to cost around $150...so you'll pay $500 still?Â
