    How long before sks disappear from market?

    How long do you think before sks rifles disappear from market 3 year? 5 year or 10 years.
    And what will be the price of them then?

    Stirring the pot on the market for the product that you sell?

    Creative marketing effort?
    Are you saying I'm a "gun nut"? I prefer the term "Firearms Enthusiast"...

    You mean more coming in? Because the floor that people already have will be here forever.

    I could see the price eventually hitting $500 and it wouldn't be a bad deal even then.

    I know demand and supply curve that is on the market right now. I want to know what people think. I want to read this thread in 3 years and see if I was right.
    I sell the guns so other 450 dealers in Canada. Marketing or not I just want to know

    They will probably be banned long before the importers run out. Shoot them while you can before they are the price of scrap metal. We have the best case government right now and look where it got us...

    I bought my 1st about 5 yrs ago. They were plentiful and cheaper than now. There were Tulas and Izzies from shooter grade to unrefurb'd to unissued/unrefurb'd.

    Now you see mainly shooters at a higher price.
    In 3 to 5 yrs they'll probably be hard to find and relatively expensive...unless a warehouse full of 'em is discovered somewhere in eastern Europe.

    That's an interesting comparison.
    Wikipedia says (ya, ya...I know) that 17 million Enfields were produced vs 15 million SKS carbines.
    Enfields were once plentiful and dirt cheap. That certainly has changed over the last few decades.

    Total produced isn't a great comparison if they are in other parts of the world.
