No shortage of Mosins on the MS GulfCoast. Prices have certainly increased and selections have decreased but a little effort will bear results. Prices seem to range from $179.00 to as much as $299.00 . But a few nice examples are available.
I'm coming late to this thread, and I am astounded to see that Mosin-Nagants, the most numerous of guns are actually hard to find on the retail market.I guess it's the same with everything. Haters pissed on them from a great height just like the Yugoslavian Mausers and the Romanian AKs. All had their day of rarity, and now it's the time of the Mosin-Nagant. Funny that even today when I do get to go to the range, I pack a 91/30 regardless of what else comes along.
