Small local store offered me a crate of 10 new MAK90 with accessories for $750 back in 1992. Wasn't interested enough to care even though I had the cash. I didn't really like shooting my own (short stock, hard to find mags, way less accurate than my SKS) plus these were even uglier with greenish wood thumbhole stocks.Chinese Maks. When I bought one for 99 bucks. SVT rifles when I could buy them for 350.
Now you really dregded up another one. Not buying a pallet of Centuries swede 96's at sub $50 each. Nowadays any under $500 is a steal.In the 1980s I was at a gun show and there was a couple of nice Swedish Mausers for under a hundred dollars. I wasn’t that interested in milsurp bolt actions, didn’t buy one, told a friend and he bought them both.
