I have RC cola in the refrigerator, made biscuits and gravy last night and bought a pack of moon pies about a week ago or so. It's been a few months since I had goo-goo clusters or mallow cups. I like your choice of trading stock Woodbeef :)

NO. I'm mad at you, remember? $169 Russians!
So I guess that means a couple of 50lb bags of blue corn meal is a no go too then?

No Sir,it comes from the land that fought the "War of Northern Agression". What passes for biscuits up here are tea biscuits heavy with baking soda,and not even a hint of buttermilk to be found.

You might be thinking of poutine though.

I think mainly because we are one of the last places left that can import them in numbers. From what I can surmise it's been about 10-12 containers since 2008,with 2200 per container.

Also a couple containers of left over Chinese Military ones too.

Plus, down here in the States, our Government banned them totally from import on the Russians and Chinese. Not like a Mosin.
These are semi-auto and .Gov hates them. What is here from years ago are the last we shall see in the US. Demand drives the prices ever higher, just like the AK's we used to let in. .Gov banned the AK and SKS in the same law.

True. Before Dec.2008 the last Russians that were imported here was in the early 90s. If you could find one before then it would have cost you at least $450 for an average refurb.
