You can still get the ammo for these at less than 20 cents a round.  Maybe the only deal going in these crazy, panic-driven days.  Currently SG has some.  I'm debating getting one of these, or waiting til AIM gets the 91/30 back in stock.

Thanks for the heads up!

alot of the m53's are beater rifles, decent bores, horrible looks.  I've also seen them for $99-ish.  Im holding out on an m44 to pay the extra buck for a nice looking gun.
