Even better, there was some for a retail of $99 4 or 5 years ago. Since then we gave watched every shipment creep of $10-$15 per rifle. This pace will not stop. Research prices on Enfield rifles, SVT-40s, and K31s. Whats worse if you go looking for either of these 3 rifles, you may only find 1 in 10% of the stores. If you want to buy and hang on for 2 years, there will be a huge return.


Those who want to buy, now is the time as they will not be getting cheaper. My math says $3850 divided by 20 = $192.50 or $187.50 by EMT, not over $200 each.

A large group of Russian soldiers in the border area in 1939 are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a small hill: "One Finnish soldier is better than ten Russian".

The Russian commander quickly orders 10 of his best men over the hill where Upon a gun-battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then silence.

The voice once again calls out: "One Finn is better than one hundred Russian."
Furious, the Russian commander sends his next best 100 troops over the hill and instantly a huge gun fight commences.

After 10 minutes of battle, again Silence.

The calm Finnish voice calls out again:
"One Finn is better than one thousand Russians"

The enraged Russian commander musters
1000 fighters and sends them to the other side
of the hill. Rifle fire, machine guns, grenades,
rockets and cannon fire ring out as a terrible
battle is fought.... Then Silence.



Eventually one badly wounded Russian fighter crawls back over the hill and with his dying words tells his commander, "Don't send any more men......it's a trap. There's two of them."

Bahahahaha. One of my favourite jokes but I use canadian vs yanke in the war of 1812. The above though actually holds water in light of the Winter War. Good one.

Not trying to bash here but unless I missed something were these not going for under 200 last month for one rifle across the country?

Buying 20 for over 200 a piece, I'm just not seeing the value in that unless a person wants to hang on to it for 20 years

Usually the more you buy the cheaper it gets. Just saying

I picked up two complete crates about 4 years ago. It was a good deal because it was more or less 25% off the going retail price to buy it as a case lot. There is still a retailer here who has regular run of the mill 91/30s currently listed for 190 bucks. It would be cheaper to buy 20 rifles from him. I have no problem coming up with cash, but there is little incentive to bulk buy with this price.

Is there tax and shipping on top of that though?
I guess you do get the crate out of the deal too, for what it's worth.

The crates are sold out now for the next 2 shipments (10 crates). If you want an 1891/30, best to buy from who ever has them.

I have a relative in the states who keeps asking me about what a good deal on an AK47 is. He has been to busy looking for the best deal on a AK more so then he actually wants to buy a AK. Several years have past and the AKs have gone from $300, to $700, and he keeps asking, and looking because he wants it to be a deal.

Paying market value (or slightly more) today, will seem like a steal in a few months.

200 Rifles pre-sold in just a couple days. We have a hand full of single rifles left and then nothing for a while. Some people want to spend most of their time breaking down all the aspects and talk dollars and cents. Meanwhile the supply is drying up.

If you really want one of these rifle, BUY IT ASAP FROM WHO EVER HAS THEM, but buy them sooner, rather then later.

When new years eve 2017 comes around, we may have to post a link to this thread into all the Red Rifle threads that are asking "what happened to the price of 1891/30s?".
 
While I wholeheartedly agree that one should buy the rifles while you can still get them, but offering a 20 lot at single item price (x20) is no incentive to buy and just reflects poorly on your business practices.

I have been buying rifles, but I turn away from deals like this. Its no loss to the buyer. I've got single rifles in transit that are cheaper landed than your bulk price.

Every shipment has increased in price. Our new shipment costed more then our last shipment, yet the price per rifle works out to less then the guns we sell single (and paid much less for).

If a dealer has sat on inventory for a year (that they paid $50 less on) of course they are going sell for less.

I cannot count the number of phone calls we took this summer from customers who were angry that their local dealer was selling Savage rifles for 20% higher then we were. We tried to explain to them that the dealer had purchased new stock at a higher price and was not gouging anyone. Our Savages we almost 18 months old and thats why they were a lower price.

I guess this does not matter to those who cant see past a price tag. We are obviously just running poor business practices because we adjust prices based on our costs. There is not need to turn away on this deal, they are sold out anyways.

Fear is big business. Some dealers love to use it...

There is no need to be fearful of anything, just know that when something is running low, that might be the time to buy it if you really want to. If someones emotions turns to fear when deciding on a purchase, then they probably should not buy it.

Yeah, but one still can't avoid their hands getting dirty after greasin' those wheels!
 
Not sure what that means....

As it goes with almost all 5+ page threads on CGN, some members always have to go on the attack.

Since some of you like the thrill of an online quarrel and like cry foul when something costs a bit more then in the past, here is a great idea for the new year to use some of that energy for a real cause. Click on this text, and you will find a list of contacts of people you should be sharing your views with, and maybe if enough people get involved, the UN marking may get put off or changed. If a few dollars on a 1891/30 gets you reved up to post your view here, then maybe you can channel a bit of that towards a incoming regulation that will drive up the cost a couple hundred dollars per gun.

Thank you to those who contacted us. We will contact you as soon as the shipments arrive and go over the arrangements on how to take deliver by Day & Ross.

AMEN

Thank you for the opportunity to purchase these rifles by the crate. We sincerely appreciate your efforts.
 
Meh, after taxes that's still around $200 per Mosin and you don't know what you're getting bore wise/condition wise.
There's about 40 Mosins on the EE right now for a lot less than $200 a rifle and the condition is already known and established with detailed pics etc
The frugal bastard in me sees no point in purchasing at that price.
I guess if you had $4K laying around burning a hole in your pocket and wanted to bury these in the basement in the hopes that they are worth $400 a rifle in 15 years or something?

Still cool to see a crate of Mosins but that's about it for me. Will be interesting to see if the value of them will rise as much as the SVT's already have.
