round rec 360
hex rec 395

ok maybe not 10x the price but def a lot dearer. 

Absolutely, Sledge.  Not to mention the paperwork y'all have to go through.

I have a C&R license that cost me $30.  Paperwork was minimal to get it and it is good for 3 years.  With this license I can buy an MN and have it shipped TO MY DOOR!

Sledge,

That is a 91/30 sniper rifle.  They go for more than the regular MNs here, too. 

They are list in SOG for $399 (regularly $495), the M44 carbine is $179,  regular 91/30 is $70, 91/30 with Hex receiver $80, there are others but that is the price range.

Its basically all about the scope.... The bolt with the bent handle is like $80 but the original scope is about $300+



*The bottom line here is that unless you really really really want to buy the Nagant, just wait. They are really easy to find and the "on sale" price you are being tempted with is not really that great. If you decide later on that it is something you want to buy, it will be easy to track one down and you can probably do so for a better price.

Pick up a copy of Shotgun News next time you go the a book store.  More people selling "excellent" grade Nagants in there than you can shake a stick at.  Prices start at about 60 bucks, go into thousands for the real collectables.  If you have a C&R you can order them dirt cheap, and get discounts for ordering three or more!

Want ammo?

Are there other surplus guns that are worth anything that are around that money?

You can find plenty of M48 yugo mausers for about 89.99 and up. Some make really good shooters and ammo is plentiful. I bought a couple because the price was right and at the time i didnt have the money i have now.

I tend to agree Eric. I got excitted by the price, but after looking at them with a bore light I found they were not all they were cracked up to be. I'd still like one, but I think I'll wait (unless Wednesday's shipment looks better...... I know, its a disease, don't mock me ).

If you dont have one already, start working on getting your C&R.  You'll save a LOT of money with it!
