I believe we are going to have to rethink the meaning of a bargain when it comes to milsurp. We are not finding anything worth owning in the price range that was the standard for milsurp. Last purchase was a 1909 Argentine for $175.00 at a Flea Market. Have bought them in the not too distant past for under $ 90.00. jplonghunter

Good catch on the 1909
You raise an excellent point, military surplus arms prices are all over the board. What I am seeing are surplus arms in NRA good, fair and poor condition with high hang tag prices. I did luck into a Finnish Model 1928 in mint condition with matching numbers for $85.00. The shop owner took in the rifle in a trade and had it listed as a Moison Nagant 91/30. Oh, well. All the best...

I've seen the same things happening with milsurps in the oklahoma/texas area as well.
With the recesson going as it is, I am seeing alot of the less seen milsurps being soldoff and coming back into the market at premium prices. Ljungmans, rasheeds, Mas 36, 49's and 49/56's, artillery lugers both repro and originals, broomhandles, linda pistols, really wide selection of stuff. I doubt we will ever see the prices we used too, but if someone has extra cash to spare right now, you can fill empty slots in your collections.
