Of course that was back when they were $90 a copy. Now I see there are even shortages of Mosins and they are selling for much more.
(Heck, I stopped by the local Gander Mountain today and they didn't even have any .22 ammo. None. Nada. Zilch. Absolutely nothing.)
We bought enough Mosin’s for us, three. Got ‘em when they were $100 bucks a copy for the hex receiver model and a tin of 450 rounds was $89. You can set up the family pretty good for around $500 and three trained shooteers firing Mosin-Nagant rifles is nothing to be trifled with.
