This is strictly hypothetical! How much would a 1915, all matching Westinghouse 1891 Nagant be worth approximately? Good shape overall. A few dings in the buttstock. Bore is dark with good rifling and essentially no pitting from the looks of it. Cleaning rod intact and looks like the rear sight is still in arshini or whatever they are called. If such a Nagant was to exist and I happened to have a crack at it, what do you all think value wise?

I sold one for 500 bucks a couple years ago.
 
250-300$ depending on how badly you want it. That price is if its a Finn capture, I'm not sure how much a non captured American made mosin would be, there's not many of those around so could be up to 500$ to the right person.

P.s i hate to be that guy but technically a Nagant is a revolver (Nagant m1895)
Nagant patented part( the interrupter I think) of Mosin design ( Mosin not being able to since he worked for the army on a top secret program to design their new rifle). Mosin ended up with the winning design but Nagant was like hey Russians thats my design and they were like no and he was like yeah see and they were like Вы подлый сын сука and gave him the same amount of money as Mosin . Sory I was bored.

you owe me big for maybe finding this for you cote_b haha
 
I will have to digress here. If its truly matching and not finned, $500 would be the starting point. Likely someone would pay a good bit more since a non Finn 91 in Canada in original trim is a very very rare rifle.
 
Well boys, as my friend mik_1636 has mentioned, I owe him big time. Last night, he texts me about this rifle for sale from a neighbour. Within 30 mins I had bought it already.I guess I scored big for 150$.

This is definetly a keeper for me. Unfortunately, I did come across an SA marking this morning so I guess it's Finned. But it is still all matching, has cleaning rod, original rear sight and sling mounts. I wasnt able to scrub the bore as I had planned, since my rifle cleaning kit doesn't have a cleaning rod long enough for this old girl and I would hate to use the factory steel rod. There is a little more pitting that I thought but it is still not bad. Pics to come.
 
I wouldn't hesitate to use the steel cleaning rod.
Clean from the breech end and don't over do it. Its been cleaned with the steel rod for 100 years, once more isnt going to destroy it.

Sounds like a real nice rifle you picked up.
 
Yeah I am really happy with this purchase. I really wish it wasnt Finned, but hey, I still got a good deal. I once sold an all matching 1934 Hex mosin nagant and I have regretted it ever since. I think I have redeemed myself.
