We made guns popular on the internet, normies sperged out after sandy hook, everything sold out, and stayed sold out because spergs couldn't differentiate between meme rifle Mosins and actual practicality of something like a Ruger, Savage, etc. Then the Russians retook their rightful clay in Crimea and backed ethnic Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine and got themselves sanctioned into oblivion, effectively sealing off their massive supplies of Surplus from us, leaving only small nations with small stockpiles left to scrounge around in, and a guarantee that prices wont be going back down any time soon. That's pretty much what happened to the Surplus market in a nutshell. Most of the Spanish and Italian stuff is drying up too now. Israeli stuff comes in in trickles. Until Russia sanctions are lifted (HAH), assuming they'll have the desire or supply to sell anymore after funding the insurgency in Donetsk, the surplus market is gonna be pretty fucked.

surplus has dried up, what do you expect? they do get some rifles and pistols in from time to time but theyre mostly law enforcement trade ins. they have some 870s from a prison right now irrc.

Surplus dried up, and we don't expect any anytime soon. Governments in the last 20 years have been really guarded about selling their stuff into surplus, with many governments either destroying it, or using it for some 3rd world proxy war shit. Just look at how much work it took to get the 1911s for the CMP, and then they sell them for nearly a thousand dollars a pop anyway.

There are simply too many restrictions or too many hoops to jump through to actually import the remaining surplus. Look at the stuff that comes on the market, it's all used police/military pistol trade ins with the occasional foreign police/military trade in like those beretta m1934s or a small batch or something like those Lahtis that came in.
This is on top of the stigma of other nations not wanting to "put weapons of war on the streets".
The collapse of the soviet union was the last big hurrah for surplus until another big war happens and we live to see the end of it.
