    Indeed. I have a couple or three inhabiting a safe.
(Cabelas had ‘em for $130 last weekend. I may have to check and see what they have this weekend. One store had about 30 on the rack. Mostly ‘42 and ‘43 Izzys)

    Got a couple of the hex receiver type in our safe. Great rifles.

    That’s not a Mosin. That’s a .303 Enfield if I am not mistaken.
 
To: dynachrome
    It’s been two or three years, but I remember an area golf and gun store having two big crates of 91/30’s. Most were going for $79.95, and the hex receiver ones were (I think) $109.95. Heck of a battle rifle, and a heck of a club when your ammo’s gone. (Plus that dang bayonet is just downright wicked!)

    Correct. They have several pictures of several firearms at the site.

    I paid about $80 for mine several years ago.

    They should have included the 98 Mauser. Looking at those pictures of them disassembled, makes one realize just how complex those guns were. Excellent photography too.
I like the Mosin Nagant and the SMLE and they both were fine rifles but because of their rimmed cartridge, they were never quite as reliable as the Mauser.

    The fireball when you pull the trigger will roast whatever you are shooting at.

 I bought this Yugo Mauser around 5 years ago. The price was under a hundred and the dealer threw in 200 rounds of corrosive Egyptian ammo in a canvas bandolier. Not as well made as some of the early German, Czech, and Belgian Mausers but still good quality. They were in excellent condition.

    A darn good deal. Most of the Yugos have very good bores. Looks like a M48.

    What year is your Mauser? I have a Swedish Mauser chambered in 6.5x55 from 1918. I learned to hunt with it and it is a fun gun to shoot.
