Has anyone ordered a Mosin from Aim Surplus and if you did do you feel the $10 for a hand pick gets you a better quality gun?

 

Obviously $10 is a a very small amount, and an amount I would definitely pay for a slightly better rifle, but I am just curious as to any others experiences.

I can't speak from experience but a ton of forum members have had good luck with Aim mosins. Some on here and some on others. $10 is nothing to get better quality which is usually nicer wood and matching numbers.

Thanks Recessed, that was just the kind of push I needed.  I went ahead and ordered one from Aim.  Can't wait for it to come in, I have wanted a Mosin for a very, very long long time.

You are going to have to, for a while. Ordered mine 4/24. Hoping to actually get to pick it up by middle of this week.

I just ordered a 91/30 and paid the extra $10. It's such a trivial amount that I figure it's worth it.

 

I previously got an m44 and was very happy with the condition

It's hard to say if the $10 is worth it.  Only way to really know is to buy one of each and compare.  I *suspect* that they just set apart the nicer ones based on a quick visual.  I've always spent the extra coin.

Have to ask, was it shipping or NICS that held you up?

I ordered a M44 in the past from them.  There was no option of handpicking.  It arrived in MUCH better shape than expected.  It practically looked unfired.  I'm wondering how much better is the handpicked.

An M44 is actually next on my list.

Shipping seemed fine. NICS is just really slow.
