Where did you get your Mosin Nagant?

BlueHeeler · May 10, 2010

I have developed an infatuation with the Mosin Nagant. The history, the look, and the price are attractive. I am set on getting an 1891/30 hex (maybe 2 hex for investment) and an M44. I usually go through an MD dealer to register in DC, so online purchace is not a problem. Also I would rather get all of the rifles at once and run them through DC registration at the same time rather than doing the process a bunch of times.

Are there any preferred vendors people buy their Mosins?
I have seen these online, are they any good?

Alternatively is it better to comb the gun shows and hope to find them there. I really hate spending a Saturday and $10 looking for a gun that may or may not be for sale at a show IYKWIM.

Keepshooting has had two importations of Mosin Nagants. I got mine in the first round, which was back in December. Top notch guns, all the accessories came with them for free, and the price was great: $85 out the door. The local gun store near me, The Tackle Box, has them for $140 with no accessories.

I got mine from a raffle at a MD Shooters group shoot. It was transferred through Gunconnection

Picked it up in a muddy field just west of Bryansk.

Also, I heard a rumor that Keepshooting will be getting a shipment of M44s at some point...

I picked up "the twins"

At KeepShooting, as well. IIRC, Brain still has a few left. Don't know if any are hex receivers, though...

Ok keepshooting.com sounds like the place for the M44. Excuse my ignorance, is there a store front or is it online business? Is the user name Keepshooting on MDshooters the owner of the business?

Thanks guys

Check the Industry Partners section for contact details on Keep Shooting. I bought three from him. Great guys to deal with. Not really a store front per-se. You will need to make an appointment.

I've ordered about 10 MN91/30s from Aimsurplus.com back when I first got my C&R, they were ALL beautiful. I haven't been to keepshooting but I know they're top notch guys too. If they get M44s it'll be my first day trip after school lets out lol

FIREHAWK · May 10, 2010

get your c&r, but em cheap and have em sent to the house.

Got mine at the second go around at KeepShooting. Couldn't have been happier with the 3 that I picked up! Got myself 2 hex and 1 round 91/30's

Get one from Keepshooting if possible. His are unbeatable, and you can pick your own, check the bore and throat, etc. Take a cleaning rod, some patches, and a bore light or small flashlight with you, so you can clear excess cosmoline from the bore, allowing inspection.

If you order online, AIM generally has good quality stuff at good prices. I was disappointed in the bore of the one I got from AIM, however. I was able to pick a nicer bore at Keepshooting. Both had been arsenal refurbished to excellent condition on the outside.

If you can't get to keep shooting...

Pat is a pleasure to deal with, easy transactions... I would HIGHLY recommend looking at an M39 or one of the 1950's Hungarian M44's. She has EXCELLENT Mosin's you pay a little more but you get a lot more in my opinion! Also she has a number of "antique" no FFL mosin's available for shipping.

FWIW, AIM has ALWAYS sent me great stuff.

PS - Ooops just saw you're in DC... sorry above link won't work for you! Still excellent place to get an M39 from.

Argh, I wish, but I live in DC. C&R does not exist AFAIK. It is hurdles to own a gun legally here.

Gun control works. :rolleyes:

Half-cocked · May 10, 2010

I bought my first M44 from Shooter's Discount. It's my favorite.

Since then I've bought a couple more using my C&R, an M38 from a friend and a hex M91/30 from Century.

C&R exists EVERYWHERE in the US. Even DC can't stop you from having a C&R license. They might be able to regulate the transfers.... but if we take the federal stance that federal law trumps all... well then... DC is screwed.
