Which info? I posted where to find Bill of ladings. Import genius is just one such site.
What was paid? Original documents and most of these big sales are public.

Wow, hopefully better condition than the shit they had from the Philippines.
Cool photo and yes the glory days are gone but there is still stuff out there.
Just FYI and they will never honor it but IO has a bunch of Ethiopian stuff up at $0 and it lets you add them to your cart, I didnt push it to payment but not sure their cart wouldn't have permitted it. Sort of funny.

$379 for a Mosin, sure I'll take 5!

Get any on you?Is it wrong that I just drooled a little?
Not sure where you are getting your info from but it isn't correct. There are a lot active rifles in inventories still. Also it isn't just as easy to sell in country vs overseas because EU is making laws more restrictive. UK is even worse.Not likely....multiple issues. Actual rifles inventoried overseas are now slim. Especially ones not demilled, or in importable condition. Next the movement of these from overseas by other governments is dicey now. Next is pricing, they can get the same sold pricing were applicable overseas, bypassing exchanges and shipping here.
The other issue is the importers ate the distributors, and the distributors, now the retailers, so the poor FFL is just the transfer agent and makes ziltch.....therefore this is really the issue.
Not according to South American UN Small Arms Survey. It is assumed that Brazil destroyed a lot of theirs. However Argentina and Peru still have a lot in storage. Venezuela a decent amount too. Bolivia supposedly handed theirs out to the people so they would still be there in country. Uruguay sold off theirs and so did Costa Rica.I think Europe has been pretty well emptied of pre-1950 MILSURP rifles. We're now talking about Africa, possibly Asia and South America. And South America has already been picked over.
The problem will be that anything more modern than an M-1 Garand or FN-49 will be unimportable. Otherwise, we'd be sitting on a ton of FALs. And I believe that most of the pre-1950 hardware has already been either imported or scrapped. At least rifles...there are rumors of significant pistol stockpiles, especially in former Soviet republics.Not according to South American UN Small Arms Survey.

Italy obviously still has a lot in storage. Not sure about rest of Western Europe.
Eastern Europe there is still plenty in storage.
I'm most curious about Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Estonia especially since supposedly their Civil Guard hid most of their small arms from the Russians.
Yes you are correct about the newer stuff. However there are plenty of Mausers and Mosins left out there. Also a really nice stockpile of FN-49 in Indonesia. Rumors are Brazil destroyed their FN-49 at the request of the UN.The problem will be that anything more modern than an M-1 Garand or FN-49 will be unimportable.

But I'll be pleased to be proven wrong.
