Back in 1995-96 I worked for a small department store (Rose's) that sold surplus military rifles (Enfields, Mausers, Mosin-Nagants, and the occasional '03 Springfield) at rediculously low prices (Enfields for under $50, Mausers for $50-100, Nagants for $30,...

We have a sporting goods store here locally that is advertising Nagants for $85. I have a friend who works there in the gun department that says they're in pretty good shape.

Now I only have to figure out how to disguise it as a lamp or something to sneak it into the house, because the wife will NEVER believe that I bought a gun for only $85... LOL.

I think I might head over to Keene's Depot and see what type of neat things they might have that I'd be interested in. When I was there a few months ago, I'd noticed several Nagants and Mausers on the shelf, but I was in a hurry so I didn't stop to check them out.

There was an interesting survival gun there that I haven't been able to find on-line or anywhere else. I think it was made by Rossi, but don't hold me to it. It had a cylinder fed .45 Long Colt/.410 on the bottom (similar to the Taurus Judge) and a tube fed .22LR on the top, with the tube canted to the side so it fit into the angle between the two barrels.

I was just in there to pick up a case of ammo, but when I saw the stack of them, I slowed down for just a minute to admire it before hurrying up to the cash register. I need to go back and get the model number and price (I think they were around $550) so I can add it to my wish list.

Buy two, tell her one cost 170 and the other was free.
