Not a bad rifle for the short money they ask for them.
Really wouldn't mind having one built by Remington.

Too bad we didn't have some of these Remingtons. 
Heres some history to go with that photo.
Rem-UMC Rifle Works Warehouse, Bridgeport, Connecticut in 1916.
Remington-made Mosin Nagant rifles ready for shipment.
Remington received their largest single order for military rifles during World War I from Russia on November 3, 1916. The contract called for the delivery of one million Mosin-Nagant military rifles and bayonets, at a cost of $30 each.
Remington-made Mosin Nagant military rifles are 5-shot, bolt-action weapons which were nearly-identical to their Russian-made counterparts. Rem-UMC was given an initial down payment of $7,500,000 from Russia which was used to purchase machinery and raw materials. Manufacturing commenced in Rem-UMC's Bridgeport facility soon after. Hundreds of thousands of rifles were fabricated in 1916, and into 1917. Simple arithmetic indicates that if this order were completed, it would mean $30,000,000 to Remington, but this would never come to pass.

Very good. I saw one at M&M's maybe a month or so ago. Looked like the typical refurb, I think it had a $100 price tag on it. It looked "brand new".Soxfan9 said:
Where's he get them? Is it a Century import?

Yes, they are from Century. I have a C&R but the price wasnt too much higher, and no wait. They had 2 hex receiver'ed 91/30's and 2 round receiver'ed. They also had a few 38's and 44's. I may order an M38 or M44 down the road.
