Century 91/30 Snipers

acarpenter · 04-30-2008, 04:27 PM

So I was cruising around Century's website, and I came across Mosin PU Snipers on the last page. I am sure what they have would be a reproduction mount and scope, right? Also, would the rifle itself be an ex-sniper, or just a regular old mosin? (not that it would be a bad thing

)
Has anyone ordered much from Century? These are rated VERY GOOD and I would like to be reassured before buying anything...
THANKS!

p.s. I put the Westinghouse on layaway yesterday. I have a gun buying problem.

Century Arms is an importer. They typically put the snipers together as reproductions, although most of the time the scopes are Russian made reproductions (but from what I have seen they are pretty darned good).

p.s. Good choice. You and everybody on this board.

Congrats on the Westinghouse dude! I am jealous!

Geo, the scopes ought to be good repros! They are being made on the same equipment, and I believe in the same factory, that made the originals back during the Great Patriotic War. You don't get much more authentic as far as relicas go than that.

+1 +I've been debating getting one for about a year now. I'm pushing the limit with 7 now. Actually I was pushing the limit at 5, but then the M44 Tula Hex appeared at a local Big 5, and a 91/30 fell out of the sky. What could I do?

Well it appears that a company called "R Guns" out of Carpentersville, IL has Original 91/30's. I would hope they are at $800 for an Izzy and $900 for a Tula.

R Guns is an importer as well.

I dont know if i'd pay 800 for a mosin. maybe for the serious collector.

Mike82 · 05-01-2008, 10:58 PM

yikes....$800 for one hmmmmmmmmmmmm....HELL'S NO!!!!!

of course if u look at what i put into one before i finally quit adding accessories and i prolly have around half that....but my gun looks LEET also

SwedeSteve · 05-02-2008, 06:19 AM

LEET? My Tula's worth $900?

Shoottathril200 · 05-02-2008, 07:42 AM

Any Original configuration sniper Mosin is going to be worth some $. I have seen originals selling for around $1500. Knew i should've bought one fifteen years ago when they were about $300.

SwedeSteve · 05-02-2008, 08:22 AM

And to think I have mine in an old weapons bag, stuffed into the back of my closet!

You might be one of the lucky ones on this board Swede and I'm envious as I turned down buying one fifteen or so years ago...but had to raise kids and buy a house and such things as we all do in life.

SwedeSteve · 05-02-2008, 08:45 AM

Yep, been there, done that, got the T-shirt. Now I'm raising Grandkids.
