These surplus guns come in with the tide, and go out with the tide. When the great American President Ronald Reagan was in office, he loosened the surplus importation bans and for the first time since the 1960's, surplus rifles came into the country in quantity. I think the last was 1968 when the Democrats passed the 1968 Gun Control acts. Freedom reigned under President Reagan, I was able to acquire at very low prices rifles that had not been available to the American shooter since the early 60's. However, Swiss rifles were still rare for a long time and in 1997 I was happy to buy a K31 at a gunshow for $350.00. It was a private purchase K31, the Swiss Soldier bought it, took it home, and somehow it got to me. Only four years later in 2001 I was able to buy a nice K31 from the importer for $150.!. Then prices dropped even more, a bud at work purchased scratch and dent K31's for $79.00 apiece!
Then came President Clinton. He and his evil crew did all they could, and of course, so has Obama. Supplies have pretty much dried up again and things will get even worse, far worse, under President HRH Clinton. I predict we won't see cheap surplus rifles again for a long, long time. Maybe never again as these gun banners are posed to take and keep Congress and the Presidency for a long time.
