Looking to make some room in the gun safe. How much can I get for a mosin nagant that:

--the bad--
has mismatched numbers,
czarist marks removed,
re-varnished stock,

--the good--
good bore,
with detachable bayonet,
made in 1915,
not a carbine but the full size rifle.

    Looking about $80 if you asked me. You have a n MN 90 because of the front sight tells me so, it is an blade and not an globe. Please they are easy to found today, in an few years is another story. mismatch is not bad, but the bore condition is the most important to me.

    That's an M91, not an M90... bore condition is key as stated, as is arsenal. Nice gun. Price? Well, if I were to meet you in person and were in the market, somewhere around $80 would be just about right. If I had to have it shipped, unless something else stood out about it, perhaps $70. Not that I'm offering to buy mind you, but that's my opinion.

    quote:When you say the Czarist marks were removed, what exactly to do you mean?

    Before the Russian Revolution all the Mosin Nagant had an Imperial
    Crest stamped into the top of the receiver with the date of manufacture
    below it. Once the Czar and his Czarist family was dispatched and the
    Reds took over all the ex-Cazrist Mosin Nagant rifles they could get
    a hold of had the Imperial Crests ground off. New Mosin Nagants
    (after 1918) had a 'hammer and sickle' stamp where the Czarist crest
    had once been stamped. Many folks want their early Mosin Nagants to
    have that crest 'unscrubded.'

    Incidentally, there were a HUGE number of Imperial Mosin Nagants
    manufactured by Remington before 1918. When the Czar got
    whacked by the Commies Remington Arms was not paid for their
    contract with Czarist Russia and they (Remington) almost went
    belly up, too! Many of those Remington Mosin Nagant were given away
    to universities for R.O.T.C. drill practice. I have one myself - with
    Czarist crest intact, made by Remingron Arms, in the good old U.S.A.
    in 1917!

    I have one made by Remington Armory.Did they
    have a bayonet for these? I have never seen one.
    Any pictures? I got mine in the early 60's for
    $15.00. Thanks for any help on the bayonet ?.
    BE SAFE!! Buffler
