Are we in an SKS price bubble?

Anyone else remeber buying these for $79 at OSS back in the day?
The SKS is dirty cheap even at 300$. If will be produced today in Europe or North America the tag price will be around 1000$. The AK 47 is made way more cheap from stamped parts and cost around 600$ USD. Imagine milled parts of SKS how much will cost to do.
 
One of us should go over to China buy the old factory and pump out a few million sks with Chinese wages and then ship them to Canada in limited amounts sat 10,000 at a time saying this is the last of the sks then the next time say we found a container hidden full of sks. And so on

Is easy to say but hard to do. Look at the history of type 81 sks . Will not be on Canadian market for 200$ because of cheap chinese labor but for 1000$+
 
How is the quality? I have seen a few Junkers at Canadian tire and my local gun store

You will have to ask them!
However, frontier is selling by the crate for the standard shooter grade SKS for around $210. If you buy a crate, these are individual, so if you buy 20 you save $400. For the same quality!

Canada is now a signatory of the UN marking scheme. Expect future milsurp prices to increase dramatically as the costs associated with complying with this overt civil disarmament ploy are passed on to the consumer. If consumers balk at the necessary price increases, I can see importers seriously reconsidering future imports. Which is, of course, the ultimate aim of the bull $hit UN initiative in the first place.
 
IMO it's supply and demand. The demand is still there and imports dwindle yes the prices have to go up. Hold on to your sks's regardless their a good weapon. Yes as other members pointed out be weary of a goverment that tries to disarm the people."don't tread on me"
 
Wondering how many they will have in stock,, hope a bunch, can't be any worse that frontiers,, and I am not crapping on theirs, but they are the run of the mill SKS, all good shooters with a gem in the rough thrown in once in a while same as most place have lately!

I live 25 minutes away from their store so I will check them out in person but again do you have a link confirming this sale?

It is on the CGN sponsor page, so you will see it on their dealer network or the front page of CGN !
Edit, not sure if everyone's CGN does the same but mine opens up to dealer news, that is where the add is!
