99 is a good price for a steady Mosin...do you know what issue?
oddly I had lunch with a national sales manager from Des Moines yesterday
he said this is big news there and folks are pissed...well as pissed as Iowans get
The ads usually say the Mosins are 91/30s, no information on the dates or where they were manufactured - that requires going to the store and looking them over. However, when I bought mine, they advertised the M40 (I wound up buying an M38). If I remember correctly, the 91/30s are longer than the M38 by about 10 inches.
