    I bought my tickets to Voodoo Lounge tour.

    It was sold as the last Rolling Stones' concert tour.



    Believe it or not the SKS will outlast even the Rolling Stones.

    Recommended reading for anyone thinking there's always gonna be more SKSs popping out of the woodwork.

    >Estimates of SKS rifles left in Ukraine are now around 120,000. That sounds like a lot, but the demand for these rifles in Africa is extremely high and as many as 40,000 are sold each year. The supply will not last.

    I feel like for the price they are going for, norinco could make brand new ones for cheaper. They made the m14 $400 new when they first arrived.

    My understanding is that there are at least two large warehouses filled, however they are being held in reserve as the country or countries cannot afford modern replacement rifles. No more are going to auction.

    2.7 million Russian SKSs, 15 million made in total. There should still be a lot of Chinese rifles out there.
