Pythagoras 2 Posted May 5, 2013 AIM surplus has the Mosin Nagant 91/30 back in stock for $119.95 (I was getting scared we'd never see these again for this kind of price...) Finally got mine! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EchoMirage 137 Posted May 5, 2013 they used to go for $90, so 120 isnt that great of a price Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iggyort 44 Posted May 5, 2013 they used to go for $90, so 120 isnt that great of a price Actually , the first one I ever had I bought for $49.00 Back in 1987 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jcddefreese 0 Posted May 5, 2013 I would be surprised if we see them under $100 again. Supplies from the "Motherland" are running low. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pythagoras 2 Posted May 5, 2013 they used to go for $90, so 120 isnt that great of a price I've heard about the mythical <$100 Mosin, but have never seen it. I saw them fetching ~$200 at a gun show a few months ago, and I see them for $150 at Cabela's. This $120 offer is the cheapest I've seen since Newtown.

EchoMirage 137 Posted May 5, 2013 This $120 offer is the cheapest I've seen since Newtown. and thats why. AIM, for years, has had $90 mosins. nothing mythical about it. before the panic, gun show mosins were typically $100. i bought my hex through a group buy at TJs for $120, and that was for a hex, and picking it out myself.

Clintoon Eastwood 2 Posted May 5, 2013 A wise man told me ordering a mosin sight unseen is a crapshoot which makes total sense. Buy one locally or gunshows for about the same price as you paying for shipping plus transfer fees and NICS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buy one locally or gunshows for about the same price as you paying for shipping plus transfer fees and NICS. In general I agree with you, but I've waited so long for my handgun NICS that my FFL invited me to buy a rifle online and go through the same NICS transfer. Also, I have read only good things from members of this forum who purchased one from AIM and were very happy with it. Plus I sprung the extra $10 for the hand-pick. I'm just getting antsy, I guess :girlwacko: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hear you, it's just that everything is going up in price anyways. I know I paid a bit more than I had to, but I'm getting impatient and wanted to get one while I could. Firearms appreciate so quickly, I'm not gonna worry about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tommyfeds 2 Posted May 6, 2013 I paid 199 locally.......I figured it wasnt really much more once you factor in shipping and any local FFL's transfer fees plus I handled it and noted all matching original serials. All in all about the same price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HODGIE 3 Posted May 6, 2013 and thats why. AIM, for years, has had $90 mosins. nothing mythical about it. before the panic, gun show mosins were typically $100. i bought my hex through a group buy at TJs for $120, and that was for a hex, and picking it out myself. AIM only sells their "Shooter grade" 91/30s for $89.00 for the last year, they just had them in about 10 days ago. My brother picked up 2 with his C&R. They are not in as good as shape as the ones listed now, metal has more wear, bores are dark , 90% of them are counterbored and stocks or hand guards maybe cracked. There are no returns on those. All other variations are $119.0 plus. I picked up a Dragoon M91 at Vally Forge about 4 years ago and they were $120.00 at the time. Prices have only gone up since and will continue too as less are being imported every year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
