    Buy, the gun locally was $100, seems like ammo was $4-6 for 20rds. Plus I read that the carbines are getting harder to find.

    Grab it; I remember when you could get them for $39.95. I redid the bolt handle and cut 2 inches off the barrel for a buddy. Put a target crown on the end and he raves about it being a tack driver. I want to build one for one of my grandson's, just haven't found one at a good price yet...

    I was at a gun show in Asheville NC 5 years ago.
    Two different dealers each had a crate of M44s. Big wooden crate, the guns were still caked in cosmoline. Looked like the crates had just been unloaded from a Russian freighter.

    They were both selling the guns for $59 a piece.
    Plus, they had stacks of cheap ammo.

    I shoulda bought the whole crate.

    Like-new M44 carbines that came in by the truckload 5 years ago are actually growing scarce now.

    You can still find them, but the cost is around $130-150.

    The full sized M30 rifles (with corroded bores) are still plentiful, and run under (or around) $100. That`s a different sort of gun.

    So the question now, is how much ammo.

    For what its worth, military surplus `spam` cans of 440 rounds of 7.62x54R run about $90 each.

    If you can get an excellent condition rifle plus a can for $150, that`s a definite `buy`.

    Less ammo or less rifle, you have to weigh them together appropriately.

    Why not buy a quality rifle? You are looking at buying an old Soviet junker. When the surplus (corrosive?) ammunition runs out you will be out of luck.

    because it is different then some other guns i have had before the boating accident

    i love my K31
    SKS
    MOUSERS
    M1


    they also turn heads when you are hitting targets at 200 yards open sites and the guy next to you with his $500+ gun and $300+ scope cant hit paper at 100yd

    WITH THIS SAID IM NOT SO GOOD WITH THE SKS AT 200YD

    What makes this NOT a quality rifle?

    What are the odds of the "surplus" running out? This round started being produced in 1891 and is CURRENT use still. Our closest round to that is the .50 BMG which came in to service in 1921. Lots of companies are currently making commercial 7.62x54r at the same price of any other commercial ammo.

    So I am completely missing your point.
