Hmm.

What I see is a bunch of surplus Finnish 7.62x39 and x54 becoming available in the next 3-5 years…

and they won't be as cheap as the ones Century sold back in the 90s!

Awesome. Sako builds some very nice rifles.

If I shared an 800-mile border with Russia, I'd be making sure I was well armed.

Nothing is as cheap as it was in the 90’s.

And, this ammo will be a lot higher quality than the Russian & Chinese surplus…
