Are milsurp markets still worth it?

[Alan]

How's the military surplus market looking these days? I remember when you could get a Mosin for less than $100 and stock up on surplus ammo without worrying. Now it feels like everything is either running low or priced like it's a rare collectible. Are there still some good deals out there if you know where to search, or have most of the great imports already been picked over? Is it still worth it?

You can still find deals here and there. But yes the days of SKS for 99 dollars have gone away. Import restrictions on ammo has raised prices. There have been problems with the repatriation of lease/lend guns from over seas as well. All in all not what it was 15 or 20 years ago. If we had known then what we know now we would all have basements full of cheap 762x39 and surplus arms.
