    Mosin Nagant Snipers went up in price in USA

    Mosin Nagant 91/30 snipers are now close to 1000 dollars in USA. Is it something that will happen to Canadian market in the near future. I know we as Canadian have complain about prices going up in Canada

    What do you think will happen to prices here in a year?

    Cheers

    Do you buy your from US dealers or use the US as a pricing guide?

    I don't think too many are going to move in Canada at over a grand.

    I consider current pricing high for rifles that are often sold without being individually graded on condition or as to markings. I won't pay $850+ for a pig in a poke.

    Prices will go up no matter what, but the rate it goes up is probable slower (better) here.

    It's not like we're getting 'new' ones anytime soon either. Whatever stock there already is in country, that's it. Factor in some that break, others that are given to the cops during these amnesty programs; less of them means higher $ amounts for each of them.

    Don't they have a ban on all the firearms imports from Russia and China?

    I think it counts more for the price rising.

    Check the SKS price over there.

    We should do a trade program... we give them one SKS, they give us one garand.

    I just picked up a PU sniper from crappy tire, it was the last one they had with a scope ( they had another but the scope was gone?)
    It was $799 which is a bit much for a mosin and the stock doesn't look very nice it looks like a drunken Iven tried smearing some brown paint over the thing with a corn broom lol

    The bore is nice on it and it's a Tula which is a bonus, but the markings on the barrel shank are very faint I can only make out a 9 and a 3 on the year stamp so assuming it's a 43. The Tula star is very faint too
    I would like to get the stock refinished because it looks terrible ( yeah I know it's a sin to do so) does anyone know anybody who refinishes these?

    As far as the rising prices on these, it doesn't surprise me as everything is going up and if the supply dries out then the cost goes up
    Look how much a Finn mosin and a Swiss k31 have gone up

    I have refinished a mosin stock with shellac keeping it like the original finish. Search for "My-1938-M91-30-to-M38-Project-or-M91-59" in CGN for a picture of the project.
