A buddy of mine went to Starbucks this AM and were, as usual, talking guns. Both of us have picked up a lot of oddball stuff over the years, and it turned out we each have a Mosin-Nagant rifle.
Mine is nothing to brag about. An arsenal rework that sold at Big 5 a few years back for 69 dollars that one of my grandkids bought me for Christmas.
However, my friends has me a little curious. It's manufactured by Remington Arms and is marked Model of 1917. It has what looks like US Ordinance markings on it. The receiver is octagonal. I knew Remington made these guns, but I didn't know they were so marked.
Other wise, it's still a Mosin Nagant, crappy design, poor ergonomics, etc etc, but I was wondering if this thing is worth anything. He's had a couple of medical problems this year and could use some money.
