I don't believe you will see the prices drop on any SKS's that are original and in good shape.
Especially any Russians which were far and away the best built and most desirable. Many of the earlier imports are collectable arms on top of the desire for a superior survival arm.
Even the older matching Chinese are not being brought in like they were and that will make demand higher.
And if the ScuminChief gets his way they just will not be available any longer.
If you know to where to get one and it is affordable get it while you can.
It will never be worth less than what you paid for it IMHO

Actually, that was a lot of my thinking on the subject. With all the hoopla going on about "gun control" (Which really is nothing but population control) I'm thinking that these guns will simply disappear from the available weapons market. If you look at the cost of ANY semi-auto there has been a sharp price rise since this all began, and I don't think it's coming down any time soon...if ever.
