"Mosin"
99.9% of the Mosin rifles purchased nowadays in America are shootable. They are arsenal refinished in Ukraine (look for a square with a diagonal line through it, the refinisher's mark), and the bad ones are tossed out and scrapped, and the good ones are sent to the states. HOWEVER, if you have any question, look at the bore. It will range from dark and dirty with soft rifling, to bright and shiny with crisp rifling. Most 91/30s (long rifles) fall somewhere in the middle, and most M44s (shorter) have nicer barrels. Even if the bore is dark, the presence of some rifling will make it shootable. Also, get a gunsmith to check the headspace. If the bore and headspace check out, you're good to go.
Milsurp barrels (ranging from poor to excellent condition) are available for a token sum ($35), and considering that the Mosin barrel is a thread-on, in theory it isn't that tough of a job. But heaven help the bastard that has to unscrew a Russian barrel that has been on the receiver for over 60 years.
