    I'm no expert in modern arms (I only really am into medieval swords and muskets) but surely 100-150 is a bit too good to be true?

    Mosins are one of the cheapest rifles to buy. You used to be able to buy them for less than 100 bucks a few years back

    Interesting. It seems like a pretty high quality gun too.

    I'm not so sure about high quality but definitely an interesting gun.

    Legion is right, Mosins are extremely cheap. In the 90's you could easily find a Chinese Mosin for around $60.

    From what I've seen, Russian made Mosins tend to be of higher quality than the Chinese ones. You gotta watch out for that when looking for one. Not saying you can't find a good Chinese Mosin, but its that there are a lot of em out there that are falling apart.

    Not super high quality, but for the price of 100-150 that seems like a pretty good idea. With the russian/chinese thing that seems to be how it goes for a lot of products, such as people who don't like buying swords from India as they generally are made with lower quality.

    If you get a Mosin just be sure to completely get rid of the preservative grease. That stuff will gunk you up something fierce.

    I own..
    A blackpowder rifle I am building from scratch. Jim chambers deluxe lock, Green mountain 42" .50 barrel on a Lancaster county stock.
    A horrid CVA Hawken.
    A pieta 1851 Navy Colt
    Marlin 336 with the happy trigger and Williams peep. FYI Lyman techs are incredible with helping pick the best front sight.
    Marlin 60 with Tech Sight (father son product its really god.) I love this little rifle.
    Henry AR7 with skeletonized collapsible stock, steel sporter barrel.
    Winchester Model 70 featherweight.
    1936 M91/30 with springs modified and trigger slop removed.
    1935 K98K First year production.
    Bersa Ultra Compact Pro. My daily carry gun, sits on my desk.
    Colt Detective special. OMG this revolver is so cute but it points really well. 1.8 inch barrel but can hit water bottles at 20 meters.
    Remington 870 Police Magnum
    Remington 870 configured for hunting.
    H&R pardner Single
    H&R 1954 M1 Garand. From the CMP
    Norinco SKS
    Homemade AR 15 with a M16A4 upper from F&N. I used to have a 16 inch mid-length H-Bar but then I wanted my AR like my service rifle.
    Bear Archery Grizzly Recurve 50 pound
    Glock 23 Gen 4
    Ruger Super Redhawk in .357
    American Classic II 1911
    Keltec P3AT

    and I'm currently waiting to purchase a Pedersoli 1816 Flintlock.



    *I won't gloat but I have formal education in gunsmithing, and have shot nothing but expert so far in my military career.
    If theres ever anything firearms related I can help with please PM me with any questions. From laws, general info, where to buy and save, what to avoid. I don't know all but I know where to get no BS answers and my not knowing is a chance to learn. I've made some mistakes, so hopefully you wont have to.
