Thoughts on this rifle?

[cody6766]

I saw this posted on another message forum and thought it would be a pretty cool item to have. The price doesn't seem to be bad and it's a cool piece of history. Is this a worthy buy for occasional use and cool factor?

also, I've never dealt with online buying. I go through a local FFL holder to seal the deal, correct? I'm located in MWC if someone has a suggestion and what to expect on the middle-man fees.

Thanks!

A new mosin is always worth the 'cheap shooting' reason of awesomeness...

Add in one of these and it becomes as cool as the cool side of the pillow... http://www.promagindustries.com/product-p/aa9130.htm

If you decide to purchase, have it shipped to Sooner State Pawn... They'll charge you a $10 transfer fee and are very professional. I've dealt with them in the past and highly recommend.

The rifles are really neat, but $200 for the stock, then another 50 for the mount then the getting it mounted.
Your looking at over 400.

Can't go wrong with a Mosin. Ammo is cheap and plentiful for it (used to be, haven't checked in awhile) and it has some knock down power. They aren't the most accurate rifles in the world, but will hold their own. I would run it like it is.

I've been considering getting a Mosin just to make some mods to it.
Looks like a good purchase.. if you get one that's in good shape.
It says that there is no returns.. cross your fingers?

Aim Surplus is a pretty legit website. They are good guys.

I bought two mosins from AIM surplus about 3 years ago. I did the hand select and they didn't dissappoint me.

Just have them shipped to your local FFL if you have one, otherwise check around and see who will do the transfer for you.

Tacticool ain't cheap... At the end of the day, it's only money

If you didn't get one before they sold out, sometimes Sooner State Pawn has em, and I think Big Boys Guns and Ammo is like the mosin capital of the state, but I haven't seen their stock since the panic, they may be cleaned out too. They usually run around $120 locally which isn't that bad once you factor in shipping and transfer fees buying online.

I got mine from Honeybee back when he did the group buy. Best $80 I ever spent.
