This point is probably too late, but back in the 1990's, I bought an SKS simply because they were cheap. They were being sold right out the crates for $85. I saw Mausers for less than $100. Bought Mosins for $65. Makarovs for $120. Surplus ammo was 8 cents per round. I wish somebody would have told me back then, that those deals wouldn't last forever! So I'm telling you right now, if something on the world stage changes enough that we start seeing boatloads of surplus equipment flooding our shores, buy them. Buy a bunch of them when they're cheap. Even if you don't particularly love them, you can play with them for a period, really hone your skills with plentiful cheap ammo, and down the road you can probably triple your money again.
