So after lurking on these forums I decided to pick up a Mosin Nagant. I was more concerned about it being a shooter than a collection piece. After searching
locally to no avail, I finally decided to just order one from J&G. When I called up the local gun shop to line up a transfer ( I do don't have a ffl or
a C&R ) the owner told me he had a few on hand. So I decided to check them out before I placed an online order. There were 3 M-N's there two were in
decent shape and one was good looking. Unfortunately the good looking one had an import billboard 10 times the size of god on the receiver. Initially I passed
on the billboard, but once I broke out the bore light and noticed a bright shiny barrel with strong rifling, I was hooked. $120 later I walked out the door
with an Ishy 91/30 with bayonet, sling and cartridge pouch. A little more than I would have paid online, but after shipping and transfer fees are factored in,
a bit less. I would always rather inspect a rifle before I buy it anyways and at the rate mil surp rifles are going up in price ( mauser collector here) I
figured why not.
Going to the range on monday. Range results and pics to follow.
