russia in recession affect supply?

They price exports in Euro or USD, so there is very little affect on the price. The main affect is to those who are paid in rubles. They are seeing huge inflation. And imported goods, commodities, etc will skyrocket in price.

economic 101 indicates that when ever there is a flood of buyers resulting in a sudden huge supply , competition will drive the price down.

Economics 101 would indicate otherwise: Russian products just got 2/3 cheaper and buyers will flood in from the West looking to make a killing; which they mostly won't pass on to customers here of course!

Is it not true that most of our surplus red rifles are not coming from Russia anyway?

My understanding was that a huge proportion of the 'Red' guns were actually coming from old military stockpiles in the Ukraine. They may have more important things to do with them right now rather than selling them off to a pack of cheap Canadian gun owners....

This is true. The MOLOT exports were coming from Russian stockpiles directly, they are export marked (<r N c> & "Made in Russia") and a more recent import.
 
Ukraine does not impose any export marks, thus we use to get all those nice SVTs, SKSs, TT-33, MNs in exact soviet refurb condition (except pinning). There are some guns here that came here from Ukraine via Germany, they have "DE year? UA" markings.
I think from soviet surplus only Molt snipers and recent batch of BBQ SKS were from russia, all other stuff was from Ukraine.
 
putin blames the recession on the west and expect it would last two years , its gonna hurt .

eventually they have to sell, its doing them no good sitting in storage .

The financial trouble affects ordinary people, Putin and his gang wouldn't give a rats ass about those sanctions. They have more money outside the country than you can even imagine. They are one of the wealthiest people on earth. They just don't advertise it...
Do you really think he worries about a couple thousand guns sitting and collecting dust?
 
recession don't discriminate , large or small companies, elite or ordinary people are all affect the same altho the larger ones are most lightly to weather the storm but not always.

sanctions freezes gangs assets outside the country .

if the country is in need of US$ then everything is going up for sale , not necessary guns .
