a $450 Mosin Nagant

lol

I don't see what's funny.

 

[chevyman097]

well the thought of a Mosin Nagant with so little details included for 450 bucks is some what a humor.


Or just ridiculous? whatever you call it I guess.

But I also dont see this thread being very high road so it probably wont last long. lol should probably have stayed out of it.

I don't see what's funny.

Really? Unless it's a ridiculously rare model, which it doesn't look to be, it's worth nowhere near $450. I just bought a Soviet 91/30 for $84 out the door, and that was even a hex receiver.

Bent Bolt Mosin Nagant rifles go for around $400. in Canada without the reproduction scope.

 

[Pronghorn]

that price is actually in the ballpark for a reproduction mosin sniper rifle. While it is a little on the high side, it is close.

It's not far off the mark for the repro Mosin-Nagant sniper rifles (those repro PU scopes are not cheap). A true Mosin-Nagant (ie all matching, rolled out of the factory the way it is) often go for considerably more.

 

[fallout mike]

The reproduction pu scoote sell for $280+. You will probably need to pay a gunsmith to drill and tap your receiver to install a scope mount. You will need a bent bolt installed also. Go see what all that ends up costing on your $89 nagant.

well i also found someone locally selling a Cimarron plinkerton .22 for $500

Oh look

Hahaha.

 

[fallout mike]

Cal-gun, I started to mention what j&g sold them for. On top of that price the shipping is $22. If you don't have a ffl or c&r then another $20 or so. Sounds like close to $500.

There was a guy at the flea market this weekend who was selling a Remington Arms mosin for $450. He then asked me to make him "an offer he can't refuse." He ridiculed me when I offered him substantially less. Didn't know they were made of gold.

$450.00 for a Mosin Nagant in a standard configuration that's not a rare model is overpriced...

But a sniper replica one...well, that seems to be the average going price. I think I saw one site selling some original snipers for about $1000.00...though I don't remember which.

 

[fallout mike]

Rguns sells them for close to $1000.00

 

[Cal-gun Fan]

NOO3K, that was Rguns.com. It seems high, but they are actually original snipers with original matching scopes. Very rare, considering most sniper rifles were dismantled after the war.

 

[N003k]

Cal-gun, trust me, I know it's not high, and I did say they were originals, I just couldn't remember WHERE I saw them. I just was using it as an example since some people seem to think anything over $150 is expensive for any Nagant.

Last gun show I attended had a Mosin Sniper on a table for $425 or $450, I don't remember. I've seen them asking as much as 500+ for snipers with repro optics at previous shows...


I checked it out, fondled it for a bit, sat it down to go back to a buddy's table to BS and give it some thought before laying down cash.



Watched a guy walk over to the table, pick up the rifle, walk to the register, and purchase it less than 5 minutes after I sat it down.
