This is a good price for this set up. As stated the square backs were a short run by Molot and according to Molot they will not make any more. They settled on the slant back do to slant back being a requirement to meet European sporting gun requirements and its cheaper to produce one variant than several variants. The square back has already gone up in value and like anything else that it no longer imported into the U.S. it will only go up in value.
