Mosin Nagant value
Artic wolf
Member Posts: 181 ✭✭✭
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.

There is a website devoted to the Mosin Nagant:

You can research about the markings to determine if you have an ordinary shooter (most likely) or a rare version.
Remember Ruby Ridge.
You have a very common rifle. 91/30s are great shooters and a lot of fun, but they are a poor man's rifle. There are hundreds of thousands floating around right now.
Sorry.

Sorry.Actually the ones that were reworked with Liege barrels command a premium.

I am sure some of the more seasoned members [;)] remember when Enfields could be picked up for $50.00 or less. Now try to find one that has not been chopped up by some backyard gunsmith looking to make a sporter out of it. Good Luck. Someday we will be looking back at the good old days (2003) and kicking ourselves for not putting a couple of MN's into the back of the closet. I have read a couple of articles about what great "shooters" they are. Sounds like fun.
Just my 2 cents worth.
When you are ready to buy take a good look at the Finnish M39, the most accurate Mosin ever.
I agree & am going to start stocking up on these. AIM has some good deals on these right now. Check out:
