It just arrived today. It is just cheap metal tubing with cheap foam covering (guitar rack). I decided I will use shop rags to protect the finish of the rifles. It works for what I need. Just needed a place to set my tiny AK collection. I just wanted to see how they fit and take a picture for y'all.
Nice collection! Always jealous of you free staters.
I bought 'em when AKs were cheaper than ARs.
Never thought I would type those words....
Very true. I still kick myself for not picking up a $99 Mosin and a $150 SKS back when the would sit on the Big 5 rack.
None of us ever thought the Mosins would just vanish. Only a few years ago, they were sold by the crate because they were so cheap. I think they were $65 each less than ten years ago, then $99 when I bought a couple. Now? Beat up and rusty ones are twice that much. Ammo is double the price (at least), too. They were a great bargain for what they were.
My first SKS was panic-priced at $99 in 1993 after the ban. I still have the receipt.
It is an unfortunate human failing that a full pocketbook often groans more loudly than an empty stomach.
