The problem with these "XXX's are drying up, better get them now" threads is you never know if it's real, or a distribution gimmick. Certainly, some low-production milsurps are getting scarce, but when I look at the production numbers of some of them, I wonder...
We don't know if some distributor has a boatload of XXX's sitting somewhere, just waiting for the laws of supply and demand to drive the prices up another notch, and adding to their profits. The only good news is that those of us who already "got ours" can ride the wave, watching our investment grow.
Maybe we need to set up a MILSURPS DOOMSDAY CLOCK that shows a list of various milsurps, and which ones are most likely (based on observation of distributors, auction sites, and personal knowledge) to disappear, or suddenly skyrocket in price.
Milsurps4Me - you up for the challenge? If we could make it a sticky, it would be a good guideline on what to get NOW for folks sitting on the fence.
As for K31's and SKS's - I'm not quite convinced yet.
