https://www.treasury.gov/press-center/p ... m0114.aspxsurprised this didn't happen sooner... huge loss for the AK market if you own one, you can still sell it, but you can't import a new one.

So I have a buddy that told me over the weekend he is thinking about selling his VEPR .308 for $850. Is this a good deal on these?
I had a 54R VEPR back in the day and loved it, but not too familiar with the .308's

An AR10 is cheaper and more accurate I have one in .308, but I scored it for $500 and bought a bunch of blem csspecs mags half off, so it was worth it.

Square back, bone stock and has never been fired. It was a pre-election impulse buy by him.

I offered my CZ Sp01 and he might bite, so the asking price could come down a bit.

Group buy on Molot VEPR's?? Can't find any in stock and I have been meaning to get one. Might go with the Krebs to go with my early Saiga Krebs conversion.

Damn, and I've been putting off buying one. Guess it's time to find my 7.62x54r before prices go up too much.
