I love them, and own 2 91/30's myself. (Bought a second one for scope mounting, but decided not to...)
EDIT: Glad to see AIM-Surplus back in stock of the Mosin's. Of course thats bad for me since they have my FFL on file hehe.  |
I have to agree that you can't beat the quality for the money. I bought a M44 at the Harrisburg show a few months ago just because it was so cheap. I took it apart to scrub & rub, and realized that it's really a well made weapon. It doesn't lend itself very well to mounting a scope with traditional (inexpensive) methods, but it's easy to strip, easy to clean, feels solid and has the feel of a good quality gun. I had to get a M91/30 for S&G, now I want a M1938, and I'll probably get at least one more of each.
I know what you mean about having your FFL on file being "bad", it's too easy to see something and make an impulse buy. But when you think about it, that's really a good thing. (That's what I'm trying to convince my wife of, any advice there? She isn't too receptive of my investment theory).
