My point exactly, i know the US imported alot more milsurps from the Pacific than we did while we imported more russian surplus. Especially with the russian embargo the states had. I can also confirm on the SVT-40 as I purchased one this past winter for 300$CAD and i see them regularly for sale at the 300-500 price point and sometimes 600-700 for a rarer sniper variant or with bayonet.
Yeah there's no way I can buy an SVT-40 for $300. Unfortunately..
I think that means its time to move here ahaha, not sure what import charges are like for you but should you decide you want an SVT for cheap i can certainly hook you up the unfortunate part about SVT's however is magazines firstly are pinned to 5 rounds and also originals are are to find to replace and cost over 100$ also bayonet cost almost equally as much as the gun itself.
Its been my understanding that no firearms can cross the border in either direction from our countries. Am I wrong?
Not to detract from the thread, but as a point of order and for clarification, is "JAP" as it is used in the context of the ammo derogatory? I have never met anyone who calls the ammo anything else and this has often caused me to ponder what to do in that scenario, leaving me to wonder if JAP is merely an abbreviation in ammo classification that coincidentally is also derogatory in other contexts? What is the forum's position on the term in regards to what (as far as I can tell) is part of the official ammo naming classification as defined by the industry?
1) yes, that was my point. There were other reasons for the mum being ground
2) correct on the aircraft sights. I knew that....lol. it was late and I'm sticking with that excuse...lol
3) training rifle was my primary thought as well but I have also seen markings on arisakas used by other nations
4) Value? Agree with your points. That is why I said that in the " US" I wouldn't pay that much.
So all in all we are in agreement
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them
