The Mosins were the last to come in for more than one reason, but the biggest one was:
They're ugly, cheap rifles, that were never expected to sell well in this market. The biggest reasons they're actually doing well right now, are that there's nothing else left and there are a bunch of Com-Bloc nations trying to make a buck on something they see as 'useless'.

When the Mosins are gone, we're done. As mentioned by robertsig, there aren't any newer milsurps we can buy (due to import issues or select-fire restrictions). There may be the occasional shipment of something we've already seen, but the Mosins really seem to be the end of the line for affordable and abundant milsurps.
