Chinese Mosin Ngants $149

Prolly not the best rifle out there for the money , but this model of Mosin is collectable, no guarantees on condition, but I'm a Mosin fan and ordered 5 of them as they are hard to find, buy 1 if ya wanna or not , http://www.classicarms.us/firearms.htm

If your a "fan" you would know the price is high for this type of rifle.

Unless you plan on doing some old-school trench warfare anytime soon and just can't wait...it would make sense to hold off until the price drops or the deals from the other places come back in stock.

This is not a 91/30 , this is a very good price on this model,The cheapest I have seen this model in yrs is $199 and that was several yrs ago, Yes you need to have it shipped to an FFL licensed dealer to p/u unless you have a c&r license. The picture shown above are 91/30's these are 53's very different in style and have the bayonet attached to the gun. If you don't have knowledge about what your talkin about please be quiet.

I have several Mosins. I have 1 hex Tula, 1 hex Finnish and 2 round Izzy's. They are all great shooters. There is definitely a noticeable difference in quality with the Finnish Mosin. I prefer all of them to the Chinese models. Russian Mosins can be had for $100. This seems like a fair price for a Mosin.

Thanks for the post OP.

Yes, you will need a FFL to have it shipped. (It's the law.) At the very least you will need a C&R License, which are cheap and easy to get if you have a clean background. If you don't want to do any of that, local gun shops or other FFL holders can have the gun shipped to them and then you generally pay them a modest handling fee for their trouble/paperwork.

Absolutely. In fact, ClassicArms.us has Mosins for under $100 if you're just wanting a cheap gun and not too worried about collectible value. This is how I've amassed my little arsenal. Cheap, rugged, decent.

C&R was as easy as filling out a form and waiting for it to come back. I recomend it if a transfer would cost more then $30 near you or you want to buy more then 1 in the next 3 years.

I think you need to take your own advice. No one said they were the same as the other model.

I don't know how you like to collect but if I'm looking for a particular model to complete my collection..I like to know the condition. These are listed as "ugly with lots of small dents and dings." Yes, for $10 more you can get the "best" out of 5..but by the description...they all seem to be pretty worn.


Your first post said it best: "not the best rifle out there for the money"

Cheez with that whine, Like I said its not the best rifle for the money meaning your gonna pay a heck of a lot more for one elsewhere as these are extremely hard to find, but you wouldn't know that since you seem to know everything else

You're 2/3 of the way to a handi rifle and 1/2 way to a couple decent bolt actions ready to go right out of the box with modern calibers.

If I wanted that then thats what I would have posted about, Since I didn't whats the point of your post other than being indifferent or ardently opposed to the deal in a way that would make some sort of sense.Also if someone can point me to a price lower than this for this model rifle,then please do so,We are all waiting to see it

Thanks for posting OP.

Give you green.

NOPE

Don't forget to practice gun safety !!

I'm the only one in this room professional enough, that I know of, to carry this Glock 40.

Wow, no one has noticed this tidbit of racism?

"I was told the Chinese lettering either says Kill the Round Eye or # 296 Beef with Broccoli"

jmace57 said:   One question - I have heard that the Chinese have refused to provide serial numbers and the years in which any firearms were manufactured for "security' reasons. Therefore, I have heard that we might not be allowed to use our C&R licenses, even if they are obviously older than 50 years. Does anyone know if this is true? Has anyone bought one of these Chinese ones using a C&R? Thanks

If they say C&R eligible, I'd think it would be safe to buy.

Cabela's has this rifle for 99.99 1-19-2012 to 1-29-2012 the website shows 149.99 but they are infact 99.99 as shown in this weeks flyer seen them in store there very nice shape and they include the accessories

http://www.cabelas.com/product/Shooting/Centerfire-Rifles/Bolt-A... , heres the link for the Cabelas Mosin, Its a 91/30 which you can buy all day at most guns shows as well as pawn shop and dealers like Cabelas,The model I posted is an M44 model 53, very collectable and hard to find, except I now have 5 of them on the way. I don't know if they are still available, but SOG and Centerfire arms have them as well from what I hear so quite a few made it into the country lately, So grab one if interested in a piece of history and a way cool gun to shoot and hunt with. They kick like a mule and are very accurate for a gun of this calber. I can shoot inside 5 inches and less all day long with some of my MosinsPLEASE FOLKs get your info right before posting on this if possible,most of you have not even been close about these fine relics of days gone by with regards to make ,model, or pricing. If you are not sure,don't post
