You have my permission to get one of each. Tell your wife that I said so.

I don't want to become a C&R junkie. I'm just a casual user. I can stop when ever I want.

These molot imports are interesting. Not really sure what to make of them.

They're a little expensive, but everything seems to be nowadays. If they're as clean as they look in the pictures, I'd shell out 220 clams. I just can't justify paying to have one sent to an FFL dealer.

I wonder if they're counterbored?

lol yep, I found that website like 5 years ago. I suppose there is a huge domestic market for them considering russia's domestic gun laws. I think some are refurbs but Im pretty sure some are new

The Molot website also lists a "Semi-auto hunting assault rifle ОP-SKS"

Cool! What a product line.

 

[Chaunsey]

i dont think those are new, just heavily refinished.


as cheap as real mosins are, making new ones would actually be relatively costly.

 

[psoyring]

+1 Yes these are the same old refurbs coming out of long term storage, just with different import marks and coming from Russia instead of Ukraine.

So are these worth getting?

 

[psoyring]

They are a nice rifle but kick like a mule, just like the M44 but were never equipped with bayonets, nor meant to use them. If you want something to round out your Mosin collection then not too bad. AIM is supposed to get them also and may be cheaper.

Resistance is futile........................

I think I just might get one, for research, to see if they are as clean as that picture. And to fill that m38 sized hole in my Mosin collection.

So is it NOT my imagination that my Type 53 kicks more than my 91/30?

It is not, same round, less rifle. Now for all the other stuff you imagine I cant say about that.

 

[KP Shooter]

I emailed them, asking if it had been counterbored. The person responeded at 2am that they didnt know. I asked if they could check, and if not, are refunds offered. They said no.

The Soviets tended to counterbore most of their carbines, does not affect accuracy except improve it in many cases and does not affect value.
