I picked up a couple of those Mosins myself. They kick like mules, and they sure ain't pretty. But they work. They work every single time.

Yes Sir. I took my 03A3 up to my friendly neighborhood gunsmith. While I was there his assistant was cleaning up Mosin’s. If I recall correctly he said he bought about 400 of them back in the 70’s, dirt cheap.

He had a few brand new Finns, one of which I bought. Cop with me bought one too. He’s also got several with the PU sniper scopes.

No cosmoline on any of them, all cleaned and ready to go. He sold a bunch of them at an area gun show last week. They are going fast.

Nice little rifle, you can shoot your deer and cook it at the same time. (I saw that line on a Mosin blog, thought it was pretty good.)
