Being in Russia, they won’t go to America. Canada… maybe some select bits. Australia…pfffft. Europe, Fk knows, their laws are weird around guns and imports. Seems like if you have enough cash and connections you can make stuff happen in certain parts of Europe, regarding legal firearm ownership.

None of them will be coming to Australia; we’ve got an import ebargo on weapons from Russia due to that little adventure in the Crimea. Same reason there’s no Baikal stuff on the market here anymore either.
So sad 
Wondering the price of SMLEs has peaked. Seen a few around lately for $800 or less. This one has been up for a bit and not sold. https://ssaagunsales.com/listing/25614
Sounds like a bitsa… Replaced parts,
True, but at that low a price I still wouldn’t have thought it would have lasted this long.
I’m surprised it’s still there too. It’s a very fair and reasonable price IMO - about what an SMLE is actually worth.
And another.

Yep there is here…i would sell my M96 for about $2000…
I just sold mine on friday for $450 . Shame you didnt post this a week ago
@MaxJon - stop scaring people.
Not sure about 96, I’d pay a lot less for that than 38 and a 38 at most, in VERY mint condition $1100 now. That I would consider reasonable now. Maybe something like $1k - $1,100. Anything else is fuds trying their luck. Make an offer around $900 and see what sticks. Of course that all depends on your idea of reasonable, @747IAC

The reason i said $2k for mine is, its not for sale haha…mine is a 1944 Husqvarna, with Soderin peep sight from factory. Its one of 18000 made for civilian target shooting. FAS Rifle, they call it, i cant even remember what that stands for…
Yeah i hate when people try and ask premium money, for tapped actions! Drops the true value below half i think.
I know… 
It’s one of those, I’d sell it so I can afford another one lol
