You can pick up a Mosin at just about any gun show. The last 1500 had a few tables that were selling them. One had (literally) a pile of beat-to-hell M38's for around $70. Another had a couple of nice ones for $300-$500. I bough an M44 from a third table for $100 that was in great condition (but of the not-very-collectible variety). You can read more about it in this thread.

They had four or five at the 1500. I saw them again at the Kokomo show and they had a few more for the same price. I think I did get pretty lucky, but I also think a decent Mosin probably isn't all that hard to get anyway.

I'll try to post the seller's name when I get home later tonight. In the meantime, it was the guy who usually has them laid out on brown cardboard rifle boxes on the tables, rather than in a rifle rack.

The dealer was CNI, Inc. from Crown Point, IN. I have no idea who they are or even if they're reputable. It's a decent rifle and I paid what I think is a fair price, that's about all I can say.
