    The days of $50-$100 Mosins is long gone. The prices are only going to increase. But that's $150 higher than what I've seen them for at the Cabela's by me. Surplus ammo is gone for them so it will be interesting to see the market for them as time goes by. Only reason I bought mine was the cheap price of ammo and the rifle.

    I only look at guns at Cabela's for the entertainment value, their prices are just stupid. But, one day I found an awesome Finn 91/30 mixed in with the typical Russian Mosins, and it was priced at $250! That one came home with me.

    But $1000 Enfields and $1500 Garands? Please.....

    I was wanting one, but everytime I looked them over I was turned off by how cheap they were made, they are crude, but I've been told they shoot great ,but I missed the boat and now the surplus ammo is gone, I'm glad I passed caused I've enough project rifles to last me two life times, and I'm 41!

    I picked up a 1943 91/30 at a show for $169.00 about a year ago. It's nothing special, just a regular referb. Seeing the same going for over $200 at shows and stores now. Glad I got one when I did but missed out on the inexpensive ammo. Still trying to hit paper at 50yds with it but haven't got a lot of range time lately so not sure if it's the rifle or me

    I paid $99.88 for mine and bought 2 cans of ammo with it, =about 2 years ago.
    Not my prettiest rifle, but accuracy is acceptable, and that ammo will last a long time.
    Information not shared. is wasted.

    Years ago I paid $135 for my 1944 M44 moisin carbine complete with side mounted pig sticker. Really nice shape with amazing bore. Has a wonder trigger as in I wonder when this thing is going to go off. Did manage to score a Finnish sear and trigger so one day going to do the swap. The only time I've shot it, it really liked the yugo heavy ball ammo which for once I was smart enough to lay in a few rounds before it was all gone. Frank

    they all cost more than they did a few years ago. however, used guns at cabela's are typically way overpriced, as are these mosins.

    My previous post I mentioned 10 or so Crates of exdragoons at Smokey Mountain Guns. It turns out after making an inquiry about having any Tula dragoons that they have 1 1/2 crates of exdragoons for 249.00 The remaing 10 crates are round receivers for 189.00.
    They are located in the Smokey Mountain Knife woks building on TN Rte 66. In Sevierville, TN. the main drag of off I-40 to get to Pigeon forge, Gatlinburg, ect.

    Holy.. I was just there around that time too! We must have passed by each other without knowing.
    I was the weirdo checking out the winchester model 12's and the fancy tipton cleaning rods.

    Inflation has really hit the gun prices nowadays. The last time I was at Cabelas, they had a small used Beretta .380 pistol for sale at $349.99 but further down in the cabinet they had a brand new one for sale at $279.99. Go figure.
