WeldonHunter wrote:I've seen a few bad transactions that guys have had with them. It happens with any place. I've never used them and won't every buy anything from them though. They used to not even give shipping quotes until recently when they finally paid someone to update their horrible website. All that BS they used have on the front page was a pain in the arse to weed through. Not quoting shipping was even worse. They used to state it would be calculated while they packed the order to give you a more accurate price. That may be true because I just looked and they now have a shipping calculator. To ship a crate of 7.62x54R to me was $44.90. Ouch!! The-Armory used to charge $32. I thought that was high and they're further away and now charge even less. What cinched it for me was seeing chromed milsurp weapons. Chromed, I mean damn! How ghetto is that. Not to mention they're destroying collectable military firearms.

Edit: Sorry if that sounds like a rant. It's not really. Just disgust. Jeremy, have fun with it. I haven't shot mine yet but will soon. I think you'll have a blast.

jeremyb wrote:Well I got my 1st Mosin sniper today. It’s a 1943 and its stamped number matching. The bore is mirror and the rifling looks good. Cleanest bore I’ve ever seen on a Mosin. The scope bracket has a number wrote on it that matches the lined out numbers above the stock on the left side. The numbers on the scope match the numbers above the lined out numbers. There doesn’t seem to be any refurb markings or date on the scope. I don’t know if you can tell, but the hand guard seems to be painted with a brownish black paint? Or maybe it’s got black paint mixed into the shellac. Rifle was very dirty when I got it, but seamed to clean up good and passed the head space check. She has been cleaned with boiling water. I haven’t shot it yet, and plan to go to the range on Sunday.
What can you tell me about this? Any comments .

I just received mine from them this last week it is perfect. NICE bore!! It shot a 1 inch group even though It was windy and I was kind of in a hurry. Anyway, the shipped it and I had it in four days at the gun store here. Excellent to buy from.

Mine is actually stamped on the scope, mount and just above the wood line on the barrel...........Crisp trigger and smooth bolt....I am seriously pleased.
