So, since there aren't any more new ones, and none on the horizon, what do you want to pay? $2k for a Springfield?
I would guess that the machining/tooling was gone many years ago. So to get any more, the tooling would have to be set up again. There won't be any more out of china for a very long time, until someone puts in an order for a substantial number, likely on the order of 10k or more. The Canadian market can't absorb that many, and other international markets are limited. Do you have $3 to $5 million to pay them to set up production, when you don't even have a guaranteed market?
Better buy that good condition used one while you still can.
Remember when an SKS-D was $175 or $200? People at that time said they would wait for the "next" shipment. Well they are still waiting......

Civilization is the blossoming then withering of a communal mind.
Scientific data: If you torture the numbers enough, they will tell you anything you want.
I love this topic......
But there is only one person that I see on CGN as being truly despicable by every ethical and moral standards and worse: to be dangerous to the community itself, and that's Cyclone the subversive.
Are there anymore Norinco SKS's scheduled to be recieved and sold by Marstar? Sorry if this topic has been discussed to death elsewhere...
There are lots more coming. There are a few threads around about them.
I was told by my local dealer that he has some on order from Bell distributors that should arrive in the summer, with synthetic stocks. Exact price....unknown
