Good. Anybody that would charge $199. for a Mosin should be horse whipped.

Mojo sights are very good for targets, but the apature is small for hunting.

I paid $200.00 for my Finn 91/30.......Worth about 250.00...300.00. There was a third Russian arsenal, a French and U.S arsenals that made M91's. The only way to know is the stamp on the bottom of the tang. I would have paid $150.00..200.00 for my buddies 1926 Ex-dragoon w/ the original roll stamp. Sweet rifle.

warning you might not be able to stop at just 1.

somehow i wound up with 5 carbines, so I'm thinning the heard of duplicates.

keep an eye out for a Finn , there suppose to be the best, mine is a good one.

for the keepers.
91/30R
M44r
M44h
FINN
looking for other countries 44's NOW

NOT MUCH FUNNER THEN A 7.62X54R OUT OF A CARBINE WITH A 2' FIRE BALL OUT THE END.

forgot that mulish KICK and the loudness from the carbines

YOU CANT FIND ONE BECAUSE NO ONE IS IMPORTING THEM ANY LONGER AND ALL THAT HAVE THEM LIKE THEM.

i had 2 for sale (only because i wound up with 5) and most people would pm me WHY ARE YOU ASKING $275+ for a gun i can get for $79+100,

the ones they see for that price are the long 91/30's, big difference in the fun factor.

old saying
SNOOZE U LOOSE
i just traded off my last one for sell, but I'm still looking for others from different countries.

i have a Russian, Hungary, Finn (not an M44) AND one 91/30

I have had many over the past years and presently I have two that I have had for about 10 years, a 1930(hex rec) and a 1938(rnd rec) Izhevsk with all matching numbers. Both weapons are in excelent condition and are great shooters but I won't mention the felt recoil. I'll bet you can not buy just one..........

I can attest to the "...can't buy just one." They are addictive, though I--like an idiot--sold one of my M44s. Never again.
