Are milsurp markets still worth it?

[Alan]

How's the military surplus market looking these days? I remember when you could get a Mosin for less than $100 and stock up on surplus ammo without worrying. Now it feels like everything is either running low or priced like it's a rare collectible. Are there still some good deals out there if you know where to search, or have most of the great imports already been picked over? Is it still worth it?

There’s still some value in military surp, but it’s not what it once was. Many stores now focus on “military-style” items rather than the actual issued gear.

Agree! While there are still a few good finds in the surplus world, it seems like most places are all about that “tactical look” instead of authentic issued gear. Real surp is getting harder to find, and when you do come across it, the prices have definitely changed.
