You can get the hex receiver type (stronger) for the same price at SOG.

Just bought one in really nice shape at a local dealer for $79.98. They picked up the sales tax on the entire purchase, too. Thought that was nice of them.

Hi;
My LGS adds $10 per mosin and includes the shipping and State Tax - so it is usually @$95-100.00 per weapon depending on who has them available at the time. I have 7 so far and I sand them down due to the Varnish being of poor showing on the stock. I want to get at least 3 more - for the price I can have an arsenal at the house. Ammo is plentiful and I pay usually $90 for a 440rd spam can at the Gun Show. They bark and kick and have a nice pig sticker to get the bad guys attention if needed.
In another forum there is a guy in SC that is being coached/advised on Mosins. The "teacher" is a man that started to work at one of the Mosin factorys in Russia in 1943. He has his factory stamps and has provided info that corrects some data in other nets/sites. As time becomes available the Guy in SC is going to post some info on the workings of the Mosins. This should be interesting !

Good to know, I haven't jumped on the bandwaggon yet, mainly because I'm a lefty and all my bolt rifles are LH action. I wouldn't want to do a lot of shooting with a RH bolt and find myself grabbing the wrong side of the rifle when I need a quick second shot on a pissed off hog. I still think one of these days I'll buy a couple with 2-3 cans of ammo each just to stash at my in-laws, mom's house, burry in the yard etc. Call it get home insurance that they could use in a pinch too.

If you do it right with a Mosin, won't need a 2nd shot! Pig would be roasted by the flames after the shot, ready to eat!

I was thinking more like when I go back to my LH rifle but either way I just see my hand on the wrong side of the receiver at the wrong time.

I don't how much I would worry about the hex rifles being stronger but my personal preference is hex because they look better. I currently have a couple from AIM but I want to add another ten or so to the arsenal.

I have the Laminate, want the Hex (would love a lam hex), and a M44.

Anyone have good recommendations for replacement stocks for a 91/30? I'm looking to do a little customization.

Bookmarked that one. ;D

Hi;
BAC , try cheaper than dirt - they offer a Monte Carlo style stock. If you go to some of the sites that have Mosin discussion forums you may want to "Franken" your wooden stock

Thanks. I'm leaning toward a Monte Carlo-style stock. I'm also looking to shorten the barrel and add a scope mount. I figure for $80 if I screw it up it's no big deal. Later on I'd like to try to reblue it.

If you can, BAC, try to get either you, or a Smith, to thread the barrel for a Compensator...The "sporterizing" of Moisins is becoming as popular as the Mausers back in the day,...(I have my Grandfather's Sporterized Mauser)...and a Comp, should work fine.
My shooting partner just did the Monte Carlo thing on his Moisin, and had to just file a bit here, sand a bit there, to bed the rifle. But it came together, and is his go to Hog gun,...or Zombie Rifle if you prefer.... ::)
Either way,...it works out great,....and you can get the bipod ready version..... 8)

Thanks, TW. I'm looking forward to trying lots of things on it.

If I weren't a lefty I'd own two. But like Basfu says, even though I learned to shoot on RH bolts, going back to one is a bitch. I'll pass. But if I was RH, I'd buy one, chop it down to twenty inches or less and have a great deer or hog gun. I still want one, but I want a Sterling repro too. Neither will happen because of being a south paw, but both are very cool.

I'm a southpaw in a righty's world....(Don't get me started on spiral notebooks, or angled spatula's as it's a vast right handed conspiracy)...
However, I write, play guitar, shoot pool, and shoot pistols, left handed,.....I play drums, golf, and shoot rifles right handed....
Get in touch and be one with your inner ambidextrous (ness),,,,or do like the sniper in Saving Private Ryan,,,,
The ending,....not so good,....but the premise remains....A lefty can adapt....I already posted the "Natural Superiority Of The Left Hander"....
Be not afraid,....get one.... ;)
