Get a C&R (03-FFL) license from BATF and you can order from on-line dealers like J&G, SOG, Classic, AIM, and etc. It may take a month or two, and cost $30 for 3 years, but it opens up a new world of low cost collecting.

The price is depentent on the condition of the rifle in most pawn shops but you can look it over and handle it you cant by mail or UPS second 110 to 130 isnt a bad price on a M44 or 91x30 when you consider transfer fees and shipping 250 is about average for a SKS non yugo and about 200 for a yugo Prices on everthing are going up and I doubt they will get cheaper. As with everything there will always be a better deal someone else got !! If you see it and you like it better buy it

I got my 91/30 for $79.00 plus $18.00 shipping, and a $30.00 transfer fee. Got it from JandG. The gun looked great! I called their number to talk to them about the condition of their Nagants and with what they said, I could not have been any happier with what arrived! Nagants from JandG have gone down in price. The thing about them, is when they say very good-to-excellent condition, that's what it is. Buying at a store, I am not quite sure what to look for, other than the obvious: barrel bent at a 90 degree angle, bolt falls out, rusted beyond repair, looking like you need a tetanus shot just looking at it, etc...

Personally, I don't think $110 is all that bad. I mean, they've already paid the shipping to get it also. All you have to do is one, like Marion has pointed out, INSPECT IT and IN PERSON, and 2, just pay the tax on top of the cost of it and you're on your way home with it if it passes/passed your inspection.

The idea of getting an 03-FFL is to allow you to be oppertunistic and save a little money. That said: I have bought most of my MN's (and the SKS) in-person at either Big 5 or J&G (luckily I live fairly close to J&G), but there are some rifles that are harder to find in the local stores (here in the desert) like M38's and M39's as well as M44 Tula's (although I did find the Hex receiver M44 at Big 5). So the 03-FFL does come in real handy (for ammo as well). $110 isn't bad, but $84.95 ($69.95+$15 shipping) is even better, not counting the gas to drive all over town (although that is part of the fun a couple of times a month).
