Keep in mind that most mosins are war time rifles so the condition can vary widely based on who had it and how it was used or how much it was used etc. just holding it doesnt mean much until you actually shoot it.

My 91/30 condition wise was meh (good / fair) however the bore was great. Shoots very straight.

My M44 was like new. Seriously. For a carbine it also is a fine shooter.

Both of mine (91/30 & M44) are great rifles.

Did you get a lemon?[/QUOTE

I held one once, that's all I needed to know.

For the money it's hard to match the caliber (firepower). Try one out. You might like it. Use it as a trunk / shed gun, no worries if you add a couple scratches.

Shooting is not needed to make a positive decision on a particular gun. I don't care of the history ,the looks, the function, the caliber, the ergonomics or anything else about mosin rifles. Thanks for the heads up though.
