Are milsurp markets still worth it?

[Alan]

How's the military surplus market looking these days? I remember when you could get a Mosin for less than $100 and stock up on surplus ammo without worrying. Now it feels like everything is either running low or priced like it's a rare collectible. Are there still some good deals out there if you know where to search, or have most of the great imports already been picked over? Is it still worth it?

The really good collectible stuff is still out there but becoming hard to find. The best sources for these IMHO are estate auctions. The prices, like everything else, are sky high. Good stuff can be found on gunbroker but there is a lot of overpriced junk on there also. The run of the mill shooter grade guns are (again in my opinion) mostly overpriced but available. In short, I think they are not worth the effort. There are less expensive options for most recreational shooters.
