Mosin Nagant stuff..

Recommended Posts

Had a few but sold off last one 2 yrs ago. Anyway came across a stash of forgotten parts from my move 3 yrs ago, typical bling like oiler/tool kit, sling, cartridge bore sighter even a early version of a a 10 rd mag (not Archangel). Also a full assembly bolt. Did a quick research on the bolt and seems like a tough pc to find these days, the few I saw available were very pricey. So a question- have the bolts actually become a  "rare" item? I remember 10 yrs ago or so the Mosins were hot stuff around here guys even talking about going in on cases lol.

I think the Mosin train has rolled by.

LOTS of people were into them when you could pick them up for $200 (or lower) and surplus ammo was plentiful.  Unfortunately the rifles aren't cheap anymore and the ammo is getting expensive.  I saw a listing for a crate on Gunbroker with a buy it now price of $9k and the bidding was already at $5.5k!!

Add to that the fact that regardless of the modifications, a Mosin will always shoot like a Mosin...just "OK".  I know there are people out there who SWEAR they added a stock, chassis, shim kit, screws, etc, and made their a "sub-MOA gun"...but that's bullshit.

That said, my M44 is a family favorite when we have a range day.  Something about the fireball, big recoil, big sounds, and stiff bolt that makes it fun to shoot...
