Mosin Nagant.....Deal or no deal?

[Hokkmike]

LGS has a Mosin Nagant in 7.62x54R with accessories (bayonet, cleaning pouch, some kind of tool). The out the door price is $140.

The metal is good (slathered in cosmoline) and the wood is 96%.

They also currently have a good supply of ammo.

What do you think, deal or no deal?

Grab it. They are out of stock everywhere. Sure, you could wait, order one online for $100+ $24 shipping, + transfer (unless you have c&R). That puts you up to about $150. Grab it.

Mosin

I agree grab it,they are at least 100.00 more in this country.(if you can find a good one)

 

[KodeFore]

Deal. Grab it.I am glad I grabbed a few back when big 5 was selling them cheap. Even then weather or not they came with accessories was a toss up, I never see them in big 5 anymore.

Grab it, if you have a choice between a few try to get a prewar, or hex, just my 2 bits.

Hey Buck, this one is marked 1939.

 

[Buck Kramer]

It's user preference, but I like the pre-war ones, the receiver has a little more machining compared to the round ones manf. during wartime. If it's a 1939 it should have a scalloped receiver. Look up receiver types at 7.62x54r.net, good site for all mosin ?'s.

No shipping or transfer? $150 is a good deal nowadays.

If I saw one like that it would go home with me. The gunshow I was at yesterday didn't have any Mosin's for under $220.

good deal, I'd go for it.
