Price of Nagant revolver 1895

[cornelunc]

Any ideea about medium range price today for war time refurbished Nagant revolver??

 

[Mark-II]

Saw a single example in an lgs recently for $600.

Of course, it WAS sitting there!

Some were in the range of 400-600$ would likely be reasonable maybe more, pics help with price determination.

If your planning on selling one please PM me as I have been looking for one for a while.

MMMmmm 1940 TOOooLA

I thought they were going for about $200 just a couple years ago.
$600 is some serious inflation.

 

[Eaglelord17]

The issue is that there haven't been anymore that have come in. So those that arrived several years ago are it.

 

[cornelunc]

Thank to all.

I think $400 is pretty high in this market for a standard late refurbished Nagant revolver, but a desperate buyer like you have above would pay it. $600 is out to lunch unless we're talking Revolution or earlier, and we'd need to see condition and markings.

Sure the supply has ended, but the amount already brought in is far larger than the pool of dedicated milsurp collectors. They will always come up for sale when someone who bought one on a whim gets tired of the ammo situation.

(Did I mention the ammo situation?)

 

[gewehr76]

Ammo situation was solved long time ago 2012 may be. Every gun shop nowadays carries PRIVI or Fiocchi 7.62 nagant. Componets also available from site sponsors like Tradex.

I didn't mean ammunition was not available (although future supply as compared to the popular cartridges is still a question), just that it requires a certain dedication to sourcing, paying more than 9mm, stocking and/or setting up for reloading a cartridge that's only used in one firearm.

The guy who bought one at $189 because, hey gun under two hundred bucks why not, he gets tired of going down to Wally's Sporting Goods and paying a dollar per round (yes cheaper from site sponsors). That's the gun that ends up getting sold, and I doubt he's expecting $600!

I'm in the market for one
Waiting for new imports
Current pricing is unreasonable

Any chance for new imports?

Last I heard they're all gone... Some still available Down South, but even they're selling out.

This is the curse of milsurp... They're cheap until they're gone, then we all complain!

Look at Chinese SKS.... They've gone from $149 to $299 in 12 months...

I missed the 1895 Nagant revolver boat too.

The only thing that makes it easier is that it's not all that great a gun.

 

[gewehr76]

These revolvers are great guns. accurate and reliable, not IPSC guns that for sure. But were designed for one shot one kill times, not spray and pray of today.

 

[Cocked&Locked]

not the most effective of rounds for anything other then paper, but interested lock up system to prevent gas escape at the cylinder. Paid less then 200 for mine, and wouldn't pay more for one now. Interesting collector piece but unless you have a source of bullets and brass i wouldnt plan on shooting them much. yes ammo is available but it is pricey..and for the cost of current pricing and ammo, why not by a nice used smith or ruger?

 

[sovietweapon]

i wont know where i can find a nagant revolver m1895?

 

[Phat Eagle]

Keep combing the EE and expect to pay a decent price for it...

 

[Horilka]

... why not by a nice used smith or ruger?

Why do all these strange people collect old military surplus when they can easily buy modern commercial %$# that has no history behind for the price thrice more?

Anyone care to help me to trade this for used ruger?

 

[Mark-II]

Pick up an Enfield or two now so you don't regret it in 3 years

I don't shoot my Webley much, but it's interesting enough to keep
