Hey I bought one from big boys guns and ammo a month or two ago they had about 8-10 to choose from might have had more in the back didn't ask. Not too bad of a drive from Moore and you should check them out if you've never been. Anyway they were $109 but you get to see it before you buy no shipping and no ffl transfer fee.
Unless you're in a big hurry it might be smart to go to the show first.
You might find one cheaper and you have the added benefit of seeing it before buying it.
Most of the internet guys just grab one and mail it.
You might get a genuine dandy and you might get a shot out mess.
You can ask for hand select when you buy off the net for a fee, but even then they just look at like five or six different ones and send the nicest unless you specify something special.
I agree with Old Fart, but then again I would never purchase a firearm online(paranoia), always a good idea to view, possibly fire a Mosin before purchasing it. Some people complain about the recoil, I personally dont think it is bad at all, have put in long days at the range with it when I had one without even a sore shoulder, and they are really cool to shoot when it is getting dark outside b/c the flames they belch out the barrel are substantial. So guess what I am saying is post here in the WTB, or go to a show or local store for one...
I don't even know what to look for when buying one. I plan on going to the show on the 10th of April. I am not in too large of a hurry, but $65 for it seems cheap. I can buy 5 and possibly sell the others maybe make a couple bucks.
Buy acouple and keep them for spare parts.
Mosins are great for 3 reasons, inexpensive to buy, .12 per round surplus ammo, all the attention that you get at the range;-)
I've got a 1931 and love it, just got to figure out these iron sights. Aimsurplus is a great online dealer, bought a Mak and P64 from them. The pistols were in better condition than I expected.

Someone at the Shawnee gun show last weekend had 91 30 mosins for 89.00. I think they were probably new or refurbished because they were still in the shipping crate.
