Yeah, the Mosins are beaters, and mine came at me in “battlefield condition,” meaning that after a fight, they just grabbed every gun and slapped together a Frankenstein out of whatever parts worked.

However at the last show I went to, they had some nioce Mosins that were unissued, numbers matching and in pristine condition. $115 for the 91/30’s and $105 for the M44’s.

Gotta say this though, my beater is a damn straight shooter and a pile of fun to hit the range with. Gonna take it to the 100 yard range next week...

Actually, my M44 came in near perfect condition from the Tula arsenal. I have no plans to scratch it. Just finished checking the headspace but haven’t had it at the range yet.
