The Roses store in Ashland, VA had a rain barrel full of Mosins for $39.95 each about thirty years ago. Finnish too, I think.
Still didn’t buy one (or two)😞...

My best 'steal' was a Beretta 92 D Centurion for $300. I've still never seen anything like it for a similar price.
I did once snag a Baby Browning for $120, but that was fairly pitted from pocket carry.
The next trend for inexpensive semi-autos will probably be older generation Beretta 92, as people dump their older models for LTT's, X, and A3's.
To 11 I got my 4" Smith and Wesson model 586 for a $125 because the adjustable rear sights was broken.
Parts and labor to fix it was $40 to 50.
This was a one time fortuitous find and it was 30 years ago during the low point in revolver prices.
None of that has anything to do with the current market price of pre-lock 586s.
Im surprised the $250 m64s from adventure outpost lasted as long as they did. Ive made out on some killer deals in the last year and a half.
M19-3 $350
M64 $380(standard barrel)
M64-5 $250
A couple other ones i picked up were fair but not memorable.
I need a shooter grade model 13 like AIM's model 10.
