Mosin Nagant: Should I Buy one?

[mgoldsch]

Ok so I'm looking into buying a Mosin Nagant, ive heard some mixed reviews on them. Tell me your thoughts? whats a good price to pay? how reliable are they?

Give me your thoughts folks.

all the mosins i have are reliable, function good and ammo is still pretty cheap. you may have to play with the sight for accurate shooting, but all in all never had a problem. the short rifles do have more recoil so be prepared

A sturdy rifle platform that fires a cartridge with nearly the ballistics of 30-06, for around $100.

What's not to love?

Mine has been 100% reliable and you should be able to pick one up for around $100 +/-. Surplus ammo is fairly cheap. It's one of my favorite rifles to shoot.

you can't go wrong.

You can get them already cleaned and good to go from some places! Gun shows are a good spot to find them.
Should you get one ???? YES.

I agree with the above they are nice to have. I bought one for each of my boys for when they are older.

Great rifle to have.

Why not? Dont ever pay over 100$ for one. You can find them locally for 80-100$
Dont fall for this 70$ off now 120$ ****. Thats a huge rip off. Gun shows will also rip you off most of the time. 150$ without the standard mosin swag.

 

[mgoldsch]

Well It sounds like that its a good gun to pick up. so my next question is, Any of you looking to get rid of one?

Check the classifieds, you will find several listed a week. Once you have 50 quality posts, you may buy as many as your wallet will allow.

great guns get one while they are still cheap

 

[AppointedReaper]

I own the M44. Absolutely love it. Surplus ammo can be bought cheaply as well. Overall, one fun gun!

 

[LPMan59]

no. buy 2. or 3. or....

You need to go to Bradis, was in Indy today and went through them all, they had a couple of the more desirable MN's on there rack, like a 43 Tula Ex-sniper, a PM marked 38 Tula, and a low-wall reciever 43 Tula.

They are great everyone should have at least one.

I had a 91/59 carbine for a short while. If you want a cheap bolt action rifle, they fit the bill. Other than that, the rifle did nothing for me personally.

Which of the different versions are most dependable, acurate?

Finn M39, they are the "Gold Standard" when it comes to Mosin Nagants unless you have a grand to dump on a M28/76.

Be ware It has been said they breed in your safe, Start with one, next time you look there are three.
