Lookin to possibly move my M44 and maybe afew 91/30s.  Been out of the Mosin scene for quite a while and noticed a huge increase in pricing.   I dont have the specs on the M44 at the moment, but whats the average going rate for a matching M44 nowadays?  I see a bunch on GB around $400 plus.  Can this be the new norm?   

Depends on condition, timing, and how you're selling IMO.

Most people who bought cheap Mosins realized that there's not much you can do to make them sub-MOA guns, so outside of fun/truck gun status there's not really a huge demand for them.  Also, the crates of cheap surplus ammo aren't so plentiful anymore, so it's getting a little more expensive to shoot them.

I suppose you could get $400 for a numbers matching M44 in really good condition, but I doubt it would sell quickly since there are now NICS and transfer fees involved.

I still see them around for $250 - $350, but if your patient then start high and see what happens.

I still enjoy shooting my M44...

I see them 275-325
