Finally got my second Mosin home tonight. Its an M44, manufactured at/in Izhevsk, with 1944 marked on the receiver(both my Mosins are marked 1944). With the gunshow coming up this weekend, maybe I'll find a good 91/30 to add to my collection

, or just more M38s and M44s.

Nice weapons Pred. Wow, already looking at a 3rd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Well, good luck and may many mosins flock towards us in the new year

I'm still not 100% sure on what I'm going to buy. I've got the Mosin bug, but I've also always wanted to built my own AR. So I might try and find a good deal on a lower receiver at the gun show if I can, if not, well, one, two, 8 more mosins never hurt anyone

If ya dont mind my asking, how much did the M44 set you back? I saw one last week at a pawn shop in about the same condition and they were asking about $200. That seemed like to much to me.

HOLY CRAP!!!!! $200? Good lord, this gun cost $79.97 from CenterFireSystems. The gun and two boxes of ammo came to like $94.00. Please go back to that pawn shop(or give me the number) and tell them their retarded

Thats what I was thinking! All their guns were super expensive.

Pred · 01-05-2006, 11:35 AM

For $200 we got 2 M44's(the other one was actually in better shape, but since he took the time to get them I let him have it) and 5 boxes of Brown Bear? ammo. I've learned to buy this old stuff up. About 10 years ago my Dad and I were at one of the National Gun Day shows. He bought me a 1917 Eddystone .30-06 bolt action(in perfect shape) for $300. Before we left the show someone offered us $400 for it. The last few gun shows I've gone too, these guns are selling for $700-$800, ones that are in far worse shape then mine. I've learned there are 3 things you cant go wrong with, old cars, property, and old guns. I wonder what these Mosins will be worth in 20 years.
