You know, I wish I had paid more attention to the AK's that I bought and sold back in the mid to late 90's. Most of them, from what I remember, were Russian and Chinese. And believe me, they WERE NOT junk either! $175 for a Russian AK. $125-$150 for a Norinco. Whatever happened to those days? I think the yuppies caught onto the craze and drove the prices up!
Also, you could buy Mosin Nagants for as cheap as $49! A good, hex, hand picked Tula was about $79. SKS's were about $75-$100. I had A LOT of Russian and Norinco paratrooper models.
Those were the days.
