Mosin Nagant

paperboy · 06-26-2009

Was offered a Mosin Nagant 7.62x54, real nice, with 150rnds and an ammo can. Was wondering what a good price would be. Also, have never shot one, what's the recoil like? May want to play around with it, not sure if I want to scope it but if I did can that be done? Have seen mounts, scopes, etc. on the net. Gun looks cool though. I beleive it's the Russian model with the shorter barrel.

$200 with the ammo, I'm guessing. I have one but forget what I paid

I wouldn't go any higher then $125 at the most!!!!

150rds of ammo is cheap you can still get 440 rds for about 50 bucks and the M44's were a dime a dozen now about 80-90 bucks for a decent one $120 or so with a the accessories.

Point me to the 440 Rds for $50.

I sold a M-44 and a M-38 a couple of months ago for $90.00 each....I agree $125.00 is an ok deal.

the shorter ones seem to be harder to find than they used to be. and my good hook up price on ammo was 20 rounds for 3 bucks, now its 7. for a long time i thought it was the only caliber that was going to survive the price hike.

i think 150 is a good deal. for the rifle with 150 rounds.

I paid $120 for my nearly pristine 1942 91/30. Really don't know if that was good or bad, but the bore is darn near like new.

As far as recoil and noise, it's a lot like my .50 cal Remington Genesis. Which is to say, both are stout. Of course, I cheated and used a slip on recoil pad LOL. The gun is an absolute blast to shoot. I paid $11 per 20 for Brown Bear ammo, ammo can be had a lot cheaper.

I'll likely be buying more somewhere down the road.

Here's my boy shooting it a couple weeks ago when we were out taking our first shots with it:

The recoil is legendary. Many consider the Mosin to be equally dangerous to the shooter and the target.

Seriously, the recoil is about on par with a .30-06 or .308. The 7.62X54 has a power about equal to those two rounds. I have a 9 pound model 91/30 Mosin that I have never fired without a recoil pad. But, I tend to be recoil sensitive. I would put a pad on it just because it has a steel butt plate.

I paid $150 for an M44 with 440rnds of ammo. about 3 weeks ago I paid about $100 after it was all said and done for a 91/30 with no ammo or accessories.
I remember when Id see em all day long for $50-75...wish I would of bought em back then. they are fun to shoot!
