Classic firearms Mosin Nagants as low as $189

[Junk Yard Dog]

I did a 'fair' review on a rifle I bought and it was never posted. Also, sometimes "hand picked" may not be as good as you would like them to be. I have found that buying surplus on link is taking your chances. Most times the price will get me.

When you buy a military surplus rifle never expect to get more than a well worn, and half shot out example of military history that will print a shotgun like group at 50 yards on the target. You will often get better, but maybe not, and never listen to the bullshit retail sellers tell you. You are better off dealing with the smaller outfits who detail what they have more clearly, and have a bigger stake in your return business, even if you have to pay a bit more.

Spot on! My M44 came from a private source and the plan is to keep it very original with, perhaps better original parts than it now has. I love the quest of maintaining a rifle that is almost as old as I am.

No need to spend money changing out perfectly good parts just to pretty it up. This is how the communists issued it, this is what it looked like in the field. Mosins are expected to have some dinged and scratched up parts, it's part of their signature look. You should see some of the issued Mosins I have stashed away, no blue, stock looks like an old abandoned barn side, 1-6 stock repairs.
