Mosin-Nagant M91/30 7.62X54R Very Good Condition - Blue/Black, 28" Barrel, 5+1 Rounds, Wood Stock

Great value for a bolt action rifle

I purchased three of these rifles from Buds and I am so pleased with them all. I've never held a rifle that was so balanced as these. Accuracy? You can beat them. I shot at a target at the 100 yard mark and I put the first three shots right in the middle. I hadn't even shot the rifle prior to that. I gave one rifle to my son that was made in 1939. Another was made in 1941 and the third one was made in 1943, which is the year I was born. I put a synthetic black stock on the 1943 model and it looks like a very expensive hunting rifle. I wouldn't take $1,000 for it! They were the talk of the town around here for the past ten years or so.

Great condition I purchased the gun as a collector piece

Saw this one and had to have it for my collection.

Great product fast shipping

I received my rifle all greasy, etc. It was expected. None of the metal parts were rusted at all. With the rifle came a bayonet, and other accessories I assume would be used in the war. It is a great conversation piece and a wonderful addition to my collection.

Nice addition to my collection. Very Happy

Really nice piece of Well crafted History.

For the sake of clarity, I bought this rifle in 2012. The listing didn't stipulate condition, or anything significant about the firearm; I'm reasonably certain the rifle had been crated and warehoused since its manufacture in 1942. I took a gamble buying it from Buds Gun Shop, as there was no way for me to examine it before purchase. 10 years later? No regrets. I have spent a great deal of time and brass (or berdan steel casings, whichever) with this gun, and most of the firearm has held up extremely well to that level of abuse. Once I cleared the cosmoline from the gun ("clean" is a temporary state. Expect them to bleed the stuff for years,) the action was extremely smooth. Chambering was a bit rough until it had been broken in somewhat; sometimes it would need excess momentum to chamber and lock fully, but like I said, that's cleared up with use. The rifling was beautiful, and the crown was in excellent condition. The rifle is front-heavy; a 28 inch barrel will do that to any gun. My wooden stock cracked a few years in, (something I attribute to Texas desert heat) and I found a more modern replacement that shifted a lot of the weight behind the action and really balanced things out. Don't expect to mount an optic on this thing without putting a lot of work (and aftermarket parts) into it. It's a big, loud, cheap, fun gun to shoot, and everyone should have one.

great product, fast shipping and great value
