fully depends on what your doing really, as a collector they'r not just a Mosin to me .... theres many difrent variations try somewheres around 160 some odd verified ones some common some not and god knows how many others that havent been verifed yet.....for a rather uncommon one as a collector I'd pay higher for something more common ....lets say the 1942 or 1943 dated wartime 91/30s I'd only pay as high as 150$...or lets say a Spanish civilwar issued 91/30 thats all correct youed pay closer to 300 or 400, where thier spanish issued thier worth more to a collector being really scarce however the same gun if issued in Russia would only be worth 150$ maybe.....do your home work it pays to know, knowledge is your best weapon.
