Not in the budget.

Fin 39 if you want a shooter.

But but but they are better investments then the stock market. Would never believe them $79 Mosins would be $250 now.

If you want a shooter, I agree, but my Remington Mosin 91 shots almost as good as my M39.
As far as collectibly I’m not sure, but I’d go with one of the AMERICAN made Mosins.

What make, year and codition is the mod 39?

Went with the Westinghouse as it has the rod and bayonet and is in better shape externally than the Remington, bores about equally dark. The Finn's bore is near new looking but the Westinghouse just tickled me more. Plus my gun pusher gave me a better deal on it.

Aim has them for up to $350.

You probably did well. Finns are the best shooter but I am thinking maybe that they topped out on price. The Westinghouses are fairly unusual and great American history, been trying to find one for a couple years now at a "better than stupid" price.

I know the Finns are usually the best shooters but American made ones are just more interesting historically to me. Bore is dark with strong rifling and a counterbored muzzle and I honestly don't expect even close to MOA with any Mosin so I won't be disappointed if it's 2-4 MOA. Besides, it has the bayonet and I needed something to skewer a roast for the bonfire after a day's shooting.

Patience Grasshopper! It's got a fair amount of gunk to clean and I have a full weekend of target setup and cowboy match before I get a chance to clean it.

Or better yet, NY National Guard marked?

Gun pusher; that's an apt term! A seller making money on our vice.

I agree, but it's more like an addiction.

Just sent in the renewal for my FFL 03. I hope the gummint stays open long enough to process it.
