Hi guys,
I'm new here to the forums, and new here to Oklahoma itself (been here for less than a year). I got into shooting some months ago and the Mosin- Nagant caught my eye.
I've read good things about the Mosin: decently accurate, cheap to shoot, and the rifle is cheap. As I'm on quite a limited budget, this appeals to a person like me.
The only problem I've run into is the method in which to acquire one of these pieces of history. Sites like AIM Surplus and Centerfire systems have good deals on 'em, but shipping and FFL fees (I don't have a C&R.. yet) make it more expensive than intended.
Are there any good brick and mortar deals here in Oklahoma City or Moore? I'm looking to pay about $125-$130 for the rifle (as factoring in shipping and FFL fees would make $100 internet buy come out to that), but I've only seen ripoff deals ($150-$200 for plain- Jane 91/30s).
I've been to several gun shows, but good deals aren't exactly abound there (thought I might've seen a couple $100 Mosins at a few) and no local gun stores (H&H to name one) don't seem to stock 'em. Again, if I do find a Mosin- Nagant at a gun store/ pawn shop, it's usually overpriced.
Please give a brother some help. I've done quite a bit of searching myself and I haven't seem to come up with anything.
