The answers you are going to receive will be as diverse has the people who visit this forum. I for one do own and enjoy shooting my 91/30. The key is to see it for what it is, a moderately powered WW2 vintage rifle that's longer than a hookers dream. Ammo is cheap and plentiful albeit corrosive has all get out, and it is suitable for most game in North America. If you don't mind giving it a thorough cleaning after every outing I would say go for it.
Mosin Nagant 91/30
Is a 91/30 worth purchasing or am I wasting my money and should wait and get something else?

Depends on the condition. If the bore is good and it's not way overpriced, yep, they're great shooters and highly addictive.
Prices ranging normally between $100-$150 for a 91/30.
They were built to last so if you can get one that hasn't been shot out, go for it...

For $130 it's the most fun you can have with your clothes on. 
There is a shop by me that has raised the prices on everything beyond belief. He raised the price on his mosin's to $300 for a nothing special rifle to $500 for a hex receiver. Nuts!!!

Thanks, a local shop had a few for about 125-150 i might pick one up.
They are fun to shoot that's for sure. Not so much fun getting all the cosmoline off tho.thum1995 said:Thanks, a local shop had a few for about 125-150 i might pick one up.
Love mine I say go for it alot of fun for the money
After WW2, when the Soviets had gone to the SKS and the AK47, they took their 91/30s, the M38s and M44s, and ran them thru a depot level rebuild- coated them in cosmoline and put them away in their war emergency stocks. A few years back, they started selling them on the global market. Most are in excellent mechanical condition, fair to good bores, new wood.
You can't buy a rusty .22 for what you would pay for a 91/30- a 500 yd rifle.

I have...
1929 Izhevsk Hex reciever 91/30
1953 Hungarian M-44 Carbine
91/59 Carbine made with a 1942 Izhevsk 91/30 They are cool guns to shoot especially with a group of folks around. 2 of my 3 are very accurate and have killed deer. Some ammo like S&B, Privi Partisan, Wolf Gold, Wolf Black Box Steel Cased, Hornady and others arent corrosive and actually pretty accurate and clean shooting.
I paid $179.00 for the 91/59. Thats my most expensive one so they can be had for not alot of money if you look around and find a deal. Surplus ammo is cheap and has been plentiful. If you like cool old bolt action rifles, you will love Mosin Nagants.

Forget the 91/30 and get a M27 or M39. Finnish Mosins are awesome.....
Love it lmao!I'm going to have to learn how to say " your out of your [email protected]*ing mind " in Russian.
I have also been toying with the idea of buying a Mosin. I've seen on Gun Broker where the price as raised in the last month. Still not too bad though if you shop around. A few on there for $300 but they come with all the accesories, a bayonet, and a hard case. Some are even throwing in some brass on the deal. I think I'll buy an M1 Garand first though.
I want a Garand sooooooo badTrez said:Get the Garand!!
The CMP has them starting at $525 and cheap surplus ammo, that would be what I'd get instead of a 91/30TNARG said:I want a Garand sooooooo bad
