Why do certain guns sell in waves? unrelated to elections

[laserbeam1k]

Iv been on here for quite some time and this may even be a newb question but.
Why do guns on the market not the private market but at the gun shops and such seem to be offered and sold in waves..
Im not talking about panic buying. Im talking about whats offered on the market

Such as
Daewoos came and went.
Norincos came and went
Saigas came and went.

Romanian guns came and are slowly seeming to phase out
Such as Draco pistols are seeming to disappear and now being replaced with
M92 Serbian Pistols and WASRS are slowly being replaced with PAP rifles and american offerings.

Why do guns come and slowly seem to disappear?

Fads

They're like purses for dudes.

I dont think thats the correct answer? Id assume its due to import rights
and legalities.

Why cant we get certain guns from countries if we are allies with them? like Korea we have Lionheart Pistols made in korea but not any of the Daewoo K1 rifles. or even the ban era types

Well as far as Saigas and Norincos go, there are EO's/bans that stopped those from coming in. The rest seem like a large quantity of X purchased, which then flood the market. Supply and demand basically. Once supply dries up, that's basically that. I'm still bummed that I missed the O-PAP wagon.

I'm sure there are many reasons...import rights/restrictions could definitively be one of them.

I actually don't understand why I see so many "new" guns for sale on here. I see tons of NIB Sig Legions or Gen 4 Glocks.....

Import restrictions. And aliens.

Remember the vz2008 from PSA?

$399 included bayonet, cleaning kit, and 5 mags for $399?

And now they are going for a bit more.

There's a thread on here somewhere. Century bought a bunch of kits and produced them. Whether or not they will go a second time is up for debate.

It sure is a good for the money 7.62x39 bullet launcher.

So, to answer your question, "tacos".
