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...
I’m taking my Mosin to the range for the first time today.
Here’s my post from yesterday:
