Smart Purchase?

[Que]

I've gotten three Mosins in as many months and since the price for a 91/30 is still less than $80 on AIM, I was wondering if it makes any sense to get another? I was thinking about getting one for my son (8 years old) and holding it for some special time or even using one for a project. I'm just wondering if I really need/want this thing or if the low price is calling me to make an unnecessary purchase.

Just sell those Mosins and buy your kid a decent rifle. Savage maybe?

91/30's are available for $80ish all day long from numerous vendors, I wouldn't buy another unless you're really after one. I had a 91/30 and sold it, I kept my M38 and M44, as well as an old turkish mauser to help round out my older foreign milsurp long gun collection.

QUE have you though about getting an M44 MOSIN, it's a nice carbine, I have one & it shoot fine

Already have a Savage and I kind of like Mosins.

I have a 44, 38, and 91/30, already. I like shooting the 44 the best.

You should teach your kid the value of a quality rifle.

I'd buy another and another. Surely the $80 Mosin days will come to an end someday.

I agree with this and also with you Que. Mosin's are great rifles, we were shooting steel with one at 500 yards Saturday. Had a lot of fun shooting it, my shoulder didn't agree the next morning but they are dang fine rifles. Period.

You don't like Mosins, I get it, thanks.

 

[rockhopper46038]

Que, I'd say go for it. Another 497 of them and you can form your own Napoleonic Square!

 

[danielocean03]

No Mosin thread is complete without this.

You should try to find a 91/59!

 

[SideArmed]

Man you all are quick, one hour since Que's post and they are sold out of the $80 91/30's. Better start looking elsewhere for the cheap Mosin's.

Think I am going to hold out for a M44 for my second Mosin.

I will, but I want that Swiss K31 rifle that Prometheus covered on the Military Arms Channel, first.

M44's are going for $199 on AIM. I wouldn't hold off too long.

I remember back in the day when the gun store in Warsaw had cases of SKSs and was selling them for 89.00 ea. How much do they go for now?
I myself was thinking of buying tons of Mosins, because of this.

 

[LPMan59]

agreed. look at the prices of the SKS versus a few years ago. I might also snap up a K31 if you can find one.

 

[johntheplinker]

Que, since you like Mosins so much, you should look at getting a Finn. A M39 is fairly easy to find, and can be had in arsenal new condition.They also tend to very accurate, with quality ammo most are close, if not equal, to the K31 in accuracy.

 

[MrSmitty]

A guy on Armslist Kentucky had a Finnish Mosin for $195, I think he was in Lexington, could go through an FFL to be legal.

Wow, they are sold out of the $69 ones too. From the notification message on there though, I'm guessing they will re-stock soon. I've bought a few of the $69 rifles, and although they are in not as nice of shape as the higher priced ones, they are still bargains. I'm current building a sporterized one, with ATI stock, scope mount and scope, and custom paint job. I'd say if you like em' and enjoy shooting em' by all means buy as many as you can get your mitts on. My oldest boy has a nice hex receiver he bought with his summer job earnings, and he loves it. (plus he keeps it locked up with all of mine, so I can admire it whenever I want).
