Sovet M91s

[ArtyMan]

Hey guys,

Does anyone know how common the Soviet Mosin Nagant M91s are? I am really interested in an early MN M91 full length rifle and cant seem to find any. Im specifically looking for anything pre 1920ish (the earlier the better)and either Sestroryetsk, Izhevsk or Tula. Really interested in the first!

What would one be worth in good, shooting shape?

Thanks!

350$ for the Ses. is a little out of my price range though, im looking more towards the 250$ ish +/-15$.

Too high but of course an older one is hard to find. You may want to make them an offer. Prices are always negiotable, slow time now.

What would an acceptable offer be?

Be patient & joint the ee, they show up there all the time. Now if you want a non Finn version, good luck I have seen 3 show up in the last five years & I own two of them & know the guy who owns the third. BTW Sestroryetsk made guns are really rare in Canada ( maybe less than ten) so $350 is a pretty good price.

Stupid question: Why do you prefer older ones? I have 2 x M44 and one long rifle 91/30 and I prefer condition over age. Thanks

There are at least 5 millions surviving example of the 91/30 and M-44 worldwide, probably less than 10,000 of the pre-1918 Mosin-Nagant Model 1891 rifles.
