You'd think there would be enough profit in breaking those down into parts kits for US import for someone to be doing it.

For some AKs (SAR parts sets?), before the barrel ban, it was cheaper for them to make AKs in Eastern Europe in one factory and immediately torch cut them in the warehouse next door vs specifically making parts sets without the receiver.

Now with the barrel ban, I'm not sure why the bolt, FCG, etc aren't cheaper to make and import.

I'd sure like to know how that made its way over there.
Pretty rare gun, I imagine.

Will they accept the gun show loophole to ship the M240 to the states?

Easily worth $10k+ locally.

Why is the scope pixelated out?

 This is a fantastic idea. Start contacting Yemeni,Syrian and Afghan arms merchants about buying their wares and see what happens

Another modified Mosin-Nagant is on sale in #Idlib, #Syria for $450. Appearently the seller doesnt want to sell the scope with the rifle.
Im guessing the ad states " No lowballs. I know what I got"

What bugs me is if anyone in the USA tries the same thing - selling guns on twitter/instagram - they get banned right quick.

The G43 is plenty small... just how much more “concealable” does it need to be.

If those were actually getting their asking prices, imagine what we could get if we traveled there and traded.

You could have PKMs everywhere but you're likely to actually need to use them on the regular.

I'll stick with living in the USA - warts and all.

 Supply would go up,prices would fall on both ends and you could make friends with all sorts of jihadis. It sounds pretty win:win to me

  Of course some rich guy is going to one up you so while you’re all happy about your new PKM he’s buying his new Yemeni technical
