hard to believe i bought one for $105 from AIM (shipped and transferred) in 2011. A lot of people thought it was crazy when AIM was selling M44s for $200.
My first mosin cost me $79, saw them a couple weeks ago for around $200 in Clarksville/Jeffersonville. Whew! I am saddened by the drying up of most the surplus market in the past couple years. Try to find some 8mm or .303,
Pretty much. We've been coasting on the surplus of two world wars and a cold war. I think the last country with a large amount of surplus arms and ammo from that era in store is Russia. I hear it that most of the Mosins and ammo are coming out of Ukraine, and that the Russian stockpile is still fairly undisturbed. Not sure if there's any truth to this or not. Anyone know?I'm not sure what's in store for surplus arms and ammo. It's been a long ride and now I'm wondering if it's more or less over. It's not looking good.
You can still pick them up for $120-130 just gotta look around
