I suspected as much. The recent batch of carbines was a pleasant surprise, but the supply out there is simply drying up. It's not just our lousy politicians, it's the fact that we've already bought up most of what is available in the Western world. Now you mostly see Mosin-Nagant variants caked with Cosmoline; the old Com-Bloc armories still hold some treasure.

The silver lining is, of course, that most of those rifles came *here*, either intact or as parts to keep others operational.

I’d love to see the CMP cut loose with all the semi-automatic M-14s that are collecting dust in some government warehouse.

When first I got my C&R FFL in the mid-1990’s, there was quite a variety of foreign arms to collect...Swedish Mausers, Argentine Mausers, Finn-captured Mosin-Nagants, British Enfields, etc. It was hard to choose what to concentrate on.

For the last two years though, I see the same old offerings in the Distributor flyers. There doesn’t seem to be much in the line of new imports.
