Mosin-Nagants at Cabelas
RobertH:
Cabelas is having a big gun sale for a few days and they have Mosin-Nagant's for $89 that comes with a bayonet and accessories. im thinking about getting one, so i was wondering what should i look out for? any tips are welcome.
AJ_Engineer:
I did a fair amount of reading at http://7.62x54r.net/ before I bought one last time they had them on sale.
bkoenig:
Mainly matching numbers between the barrel, bolt, and mag floor plate, and good rifling without the crown being counterbored. Beyond that you can start looking for specific arsenals - Tula is typically considered more desirable than Ishvesk since there were fewer made.
NE Bull:
Yes great site for info. Mostly just check to see if the bore/ rifling is 'washed out' otherwise these old things just plain shoot.
RobertH:
wow! thanks for the great info. looks like i gotta do some light reading. now i just gotta convince the wife.
and i just gotta remember to bring my bore sight along with my credit card. ;D
