Those Days Are Gone; Russian Rifle Ed.

Remember when one could buy a Mosin for $100 or so and a 440-round case for less than that?

Not any more.

  1. Given 18% inflation between 2008 and 2019, that’s a nice 288% price increase...guess it costs to buy high-speed internet for all those trolls and to payoff Donnie’s debts to keep him in thrall.

  2. CP's point is well taken....although the time spread is more like 20 years.

  4. I regret not buying an SVT-40 ten years ago. They were $500-$700 back then. I didn't have the money to spend on higher end toys, but now I realize it would've been an investment piece. They're now well into the mid-$1000s. Should've bought two.... one to keep, and one to flip.

    I did buy a 1936 Mosin Nagant 91/30 for $69 (force-matched numbers) and a 1945 Mosin Nagant M1944 (laminated stock, all matching numbers) for $125 in the early 2000's. The latter now goes in the $300-$500s. My little Bulgarian Makarov 9x18, that I got for $159? Now it's in the mid-$300s-$500s. Absurd.
