the cheap ammo for the M-Ns will dry up like it did for .30 Carbine, M-2 ball, .303 Brit, 8mm, 762x39, et al, ad nausium.

M-N owners will be just like SKS owners, stuck with an ugly gun that no one can afford to shoot with abandon anymore.

If you want a long term shooter/hunter, buy a 30-30 than start acquiring reloading equipment and bullets molds. My local walmart, friday, had loads of Fed 30-30 for $16 a box. I am now shooting paperpatched cast bullets out of my 30-30 for less than .22 rf costs these days.
