How do you like your Mosin-Nagant? A local shop has some that appear to be unused for $80, but I’d like some feedback before getting one.

I've got the M91/30. Got to be one of the ugliest guns around. I LOVE IT!

Where else can you find a high-power long-range rifle for $80? You can reach out a touch somebody over in the next county!

The Mosins have become quite popular for both shooters and collectors. There are even websites dedicated just to Mosin-Nagants. A couple of my favorites for reference:

The M91/30 is the rifle that is featured in the movie “Enemy at the Gate”. You can own and shoot a piece of history for under a hundred bucks! Plus, ammo for it is plentiful and cheap (mine will eat every variety of mil surp or US made).

Ya can't go wrong.

Mosin-Nagant is a war-winning rifle. Round is powerful as all hell.

That's about where the compliments end.

Check the price of ammo.
