HOW MUCH for a Mosin-Nagant???

[Rastus]

Gee, the dang things (Mosin-Nagant rifles) are selling for $290-$315.  Carbines more than  that.

Mine hit the consignment rack yesterday.  Good time to consolidate calibers.  Wish I hadn't given that carbine away....even though it shot 12-14" groups at 100 yards....people are paying up to $450 for them.

One of our daughter's classmates collects that type of rifle.  I got into it because he liked the historic era, the variety, and he could buy top quality in the $100 - $150 all day long.

Come on.  They were just selling for <$150 yesterday.  Next you're going to tell me the 440 rnd tuna can is $200.

some one must be using a strong solvent to remove the cosmolean.     I remember when you could buy 12 for $400

I'm sure some are going for those prices and higher - but I highly doubt that the examples rearsenaled after WW2 are that high yet.  It's the examples that are original and rare that are pricey.

Given that Russia can no longer export guns or ammo to the US, I expect that the days of cheap and cheap to shoot Mosins are numbered.  In fact, the 440 round spam cans are going to over $200.00.  Cheapest I saw was 880 rounds for over $300.00.  I might have to start loading my own ammo with cast bullets to keep the costs down........

In fact, since one of the main reasons for owning a Mosin is cheap ammo, I think they might eventually get cheaper

But I don't think the ban applies to other former Soviet states or puppets, so the supply is still there.  Any physically in Russia are just shipped to another country then to the US.

Hi;

     Classic Arms is listing the standard grade Mosin for $189. ea - they went and bought tons of them but I already have my full compliment of Mosin(s) and would refuse to pay 189 for  plain jane today !

     I like the Chinese 53's better !

I bought mine for the cheap ammo anyway.

Time to re-post what I did with my $99 wonder.  I give you the Mosin Carbine.
