I dropped in a local shop today to see what they had. They had a full rack of Mosin Nagants, Mausers, and Enfields.
The Nagants were in better shape than I expected. They actually looked pretty nice. Rifling looked good, clean bore, wood in good shape.
They were marked $169.95, but after I talked to him he said he'd do $150 cash. I didn't have it on me but told him I'd probably be back later this week (I had expected the rifles to be a bit cheaper, and didn't get that much out of the bank). The price still seemed a bit high, but they were in better shape than I anticipated. The markings indicated they were produced in the USSR. Had some import markings that looked like a town in Illinois.
Is this a good buy?
