There are a lot for sale here in Canadaicon; Switzer's auction sold three for 275, 400 and 400 about two weeks ago. Agree with Ridolpho's comments about condition. One can find the different variations in factory, muzzle brake design, etc. I tend to be somewhat wary of the "snipers" since while they were made up as snipers, none of them escaped refurb. As far as I'm concerned the notion of a "Factory original, non-refurb" Russianicon ANYTHING is a load of vegetable matter which has been predigested by a horse. It's like the folks who are advertising "non refurb" original Russian SKS's. I'm not truly sure such a thing exists.

Anyway, they may start to become somewhat more scarce here in Canada too. Apparently, further imports are not happening, either because the supply has dried up or because of political issues re Putin/Russian/Ukraine and embargoes. It does make sense that the supply will eventually dry up--they were not manufactured in the same vast quantities as Mosin Nagants, were more delicate that Mosins, and weren't produced post WWII.
