They are not incredibly low prices any more.
Mosins are great old bolt-action battle rifles, from a different era.
But they’ll still put meat on the table... and enemies in the grave .... very capably.
Love my old M44 Mosin carbine.
I had one made in Sestyroyetsk Russia in 1897.
Purchased for $100.
Good shooter in many wars, the Finns captured it in the winter war ans Sako made it a better shooter.
The rifle shoots better than me. I hit a pistol target at 600 yds with it. Off the ground and with nothing but a sling for support. We do Mosin shoots at 200, 300 and 600 yards.
SGammo has low recoil 46 grain ammo, hollow steel bullet, in stock, 12 round boxes or a 912 round crate for $300 plus shipping. I have bought from them several times and they have fast shipping.
” Very Limited supplies!!! 5x12 round boxes, of 7.62x54R Czech Surplus Hollow Core Short Range ammo for sale.. This ammo has very low recoil in the Mosin Nagant, it feels like shooing a 223. Ideal for youth shooting, or training where reduced recoil is desired, very accurate to about 200 yards. Everyone who loves shooting Mosins needs a case of this ammo in their stock. I personally guarantee you will love this ammo, it makes shooting Mosins all day fun with no shoulder pain & bruises. Velocity is around 3200 FPS at the muzzle. Loud report, huge muzzle flash, accurate to 200 yards without all the recoil. I sold this same type of ammo years ago and when it went off the market everyone who used it missed it. If any of you want to shoot this caliber with your children, wife, girlfriends, inexperience shooting friends, and want them to shoot your M/N rifles more than one time then this stuff is the best choice. Corrosive Berdan primer, magnetic projectile.”
Slams steel at 944 yards sans glass with whose eyes?
Or is literally a barn size target
$13.00 @ American Auto in 1956.
My Dad bought one at the local K-Mart in the early’60s for under $20 I think. They had them in a big cardboard bin, muzzle down It was advertised as a Finnish rifle, but had the hammer & sickle stamped on it. The ammo K-Mart sold with it had a pretty good kick to it. He didn’t keep it long, sold it and bought a Winchester Model 70, which I still have.
Bought one from a friend about 10 years ago. Paid him 85 bucks. Had the barrel shortened 2 inches and crowned, got a synthetic monte carlo style stock, removed the rear sight and put on a Burris 2 3/4 power scout scope, shimmed the trigger. Great deer gun. Kicks like a sumbitch though.
Ping you ol’ cultist
WT*?
I have a Mosin-Nagant sniper with the wartime PU sniper scope I had mailed over from Russia. Its very long and somewhat clunky but it is a solid and reasonably accurate rifle with a pretty powerful 7.62X54 cartridge that can easily take down a man or any large game in North America if someone wants to use it for hunting. They aren’t as cheap as they were 5-10 years ago but they are still very reasonably priced and effective rifles.
Both COMANCHE & APACHE (the notorious teenaged female VC snipers of the RVN War) used standard-issue, WWI-era, Moisin-Nagant rifles, topped with Korean War-era scopes & did “all too well with those old relics”, according to my ex-housemate, accomplished sniper & former USMC “Gunny”, Fred S__________.

My son and I both have one and we use them sometimes to shoot
wild hogs around my airpark.
Works real good too.
