moson nagant 91/30 group buy?

[etep513]

I'm not starting a group for buying mosins, I just wanted to know if any of you plan on buying mosin nagant 91/30 rifles? Would you want to do a group buy to save on shipping? This would only be for people in the lehigh valley. Here is the page with the item listed:

Not sure if you have one in your area, but I saw them at a dunhams in Lancaster Pa just 2 weeks ago for that price. No shipping needed.

You may want to check your local Dunhams Sporting Goods store before you go the JG or other mail order route. Last week I purchased a 1943 Russian 91/30 (Tula) at Dunhams on sale for $89. By going this route I avoided the cost of shipping, paying a FFL holder to receive the rifle for me ($30 at a nearby sporting goods store), and I was able to inspect the quality of what I was buying as opposed to the unknown that you get with the JG route. I am not sure if all Dunhams carry relic rifles but I suspect that they do given my conversations with store personnel. There were a number of 91/30 rifles to choose from as well as other models of varying conditions. Thie Dunhams route might be the right route for you too.

You may then want to look to the Sportsmans Guide for ammo. I purchased (880) rounds of non-corrosive 7.62 x 54R for less than $180 shipping included using a $10 off coupon and signing up for the club.

Best of luck

Lol, but that's what my problem is. The nearest Dunham's is a good 90 minutes from where I am. I would have to spend at least 3 hours driving (assuming there is no traffic). Add on 1-2 hours in the store. I just don't have an entire day to spend on gun shopping. I already called Cabelas, but they didn't have any in stock. I would have gone to a local gun shop, but some of those madmen think that they can jack up the price 50% above actual value just because Obama is in office.
