That place that has the K31's we have to hint around about.
Glad I got in on the tail end of cheap Mosins.

you know..."the place"
I dont, that is why Im asking.... is the place Russia? Canada? those seem to be the places that have the most mosins.
cheap is relative...
ask someone what they paid for theirs 5-10 years ago, if you bought yours recently.
Either way, feeding them has gone up, i hear... but I haven't bought ammo for mine in a couple years![[wink]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/002.gif "Wink [wink]")

Oh believe me, it kills me that I wasn't into guns when they were $75-$90 each. But at least I got into them before they sell for $400 each.

Don't worry, that other place has over 200 M44s in stock.
they also have X54 ammo for it and K31s but no 91/30s.
buy while you can, I got mine

Just as long as you know the secret handshake and passwoid.
I just email them my avatar before I log in...no secret squirrel stuff required...they let me right in
LOLOLOL Damn straight!
LOL When I first heard of the T53's they were $60-70 through an FFL? I've seen them for $120+...
Its hard for me to rationalize spending more on a T53 beater than I spent on a very clean 91/30.
The way I see it, once the supplies dry up, you'll have more demand than supply, and the prices should go up. I don't think you'll see $1000 Mosins in our lifetimes, but I can see these things settling in at around $300 to $400 in a few years. Yes, I'm just speculating, but that's my gut instinct on where these things are headed. Yes, I could be wrong, but at least I'll have a lot of fun with these things in the meantime.

And I wasn't into guns when a C-note would almost buy you two. I wish I was.Oh, and to clarify I'm not doing this for investing. That would be a stupid way to retire. I am, however, keeping in mind the increases in gun prices over the last few decades and I see that as a trend that will continue for a long time.

Yep.
Not investing in beaters. I've brought a few folks into the fold with Mosins. Buying cheap-ish gets people's attention. Put them in a decent stock. And enjoy them for what they are.
Oh, and my prediction of $300 to $400 might be pretty accurate. B&K Sales had their Mosins priced at $525 today. And they weren't pristine units either.

Isn't that a Westinghouse? not your average bear
I don't know. I didn't take it them off the rack. It wasn't just one. If they were rare examples, then I understand the premium price.
