PU Imports? Anymore?

Post by famas44 »

Do y'all believe that there will be another large batch of PU's for sale like the past 2 years? Or has that dried up?

The End. Now you will see people manufacturing more fakes if they can get the parts.

And they won't be in the foreseeable future, all the snipers coming in the past 4-5 years came out of Russia, and with the present sanctions there won't be any of those coming in unless they have already left the country.

No, not even then, the Soviets made a lot of snipers but years of selloffs and normal attrition during the war and after has left no large stockpiles left. You may see fakes, but that would be it. Remember also that we share the Mosin hoard with the rest of the world, not all PU's came here to the USA.
