    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.

    Exactly!

    Why don't you wait another 3 months. I am sure that won't be the price. More than likely it will be $600 and up.

    Too true.

    CANAM, who are you talking to? More SKS or M14s are coming?
