Big deal for sure. You often heard of americans on youtube say "oh i got this mosin for 100$ and I got that mosin for 100$". I was kind of getting discouraged because the cheapest mosin I could find here on the EE was 200$. So i'm glad I finally got my 100$ Mosin. I was going to buy another one but looks like i'll have to wait. I hope they stay at 109$ for a while yet.
