ok, another Mosin thread here.... this makes 3 Mosin threads at the top of Rifle Country !
I'm going shopping for an M38 next weekend. Some local stores have some for $149 to $169. Was wondering about any advice as of what to look for. I've been collecting milsurps for 20+ years, so I know the basics of examining milsurps. I'm not a Mosin expert however.
My questions are basically related to "collectability", ie markings and whatnot. What is good, and what is not good? What importers have better items? Any other advice as to what to look for?
Thanks!
