Mosins are still somewhat reasoanable. SKS’s about double if russkie.
The Russian and Yugo varients are great. Norinco, not so much.
Mosins were about $80-100 bucks at the end of the last decade.
Today, $200 or so, if you’re lucky.
Next up on my “will buy” list anyway.
Have a Chinese SKS that I won at a Moose Lodge gun raffle.
Fun fun fun gun to shoot.
