Friendly dealer or not, I would probably have came home with that carbine. Nice looking Mosin. There is 1 local gun shop that I pick up an occasional milsurp from. I always ask them if they can do better on the price. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't, but i've never gotten upset because they said no.

Every one is different. I have dealt with countless sellers and they all have there own style. Some you would think want to be your best friend while others are strictly businessmen. I have never let one with an attitude keep me from buying something if I wanted it. Nice rifle btw. From you pics it looks like he has a nice selection of military rifles. Any other deals on the rack?

Who knows what will happen with importing more Mosins. Time will tell.
My first question is this, out of the millions of Mosins made and imported already,
how many rifles are currently sitting in warehouses in the U.S. for Century,
PW Arms and others that are yet to be sold to the American public. That number
will go a long way to determining when and if there will be a shortage and price increase
in the near future.
