    Big 5 Mosins

    Will they ever go back down to the $89, or $99 mark?

    I don't think so. They recently began buying from another whole seller I bought one for 119 on sale there. JGsales.com is asking 119 for theirs. I saw one a few seconds ago on craigs list, M44 monterey county, 300 bucks.

        Black Friday and bulk sales. Other than that, probably not.

          +$30 for nice bore + $20 shipping. = $170 for a standard round mosin.

            early december i got a mosin n. from big 5 hunt beach for 179.....at purchase time. At check out time the mgr looked it up and it was on sale so $129. . .it was their last one a hex 1931, no counter bore. I was so excited, I asked them to go find others so the mgr located 5 at their lakewood store and had that mgr handpick the best one.

            the mgr of my store picked it up and the next day I went to inspect it and it was awful compared to the other one so I passed on it.

            just ordered 2 m44's from AIM for $189 each. . they are supposed to be good and folks are reporting really nice rifles coming in with really good original blueing, great wood, and no counterboring. . . some are saying they look to be relatively unused . . .

              i love my mosins, but the sickness has passed. i no longer salivate over the thought of a MN sitting at big 5 on sale and i do not get one. in the last 7 months between big 5 and 1 from turners i have bought about 10 mosins. all i have right now is a PU sniper and a Romanian M 44. traded or sold the others off. i am sure i will get another on sale mosin in the near future. opening that box is half the fun. i do enjoy cleaning them up real nice and taking something that has been in storage for 60 years to the range.

                Let me know how they are, I am very interested in picking one up. Did you get it shipped to an FFL?

                  No. The days of $89 or $99 Mosin Nagants are gone. Coming are the days of $12 a loaf bread.

                    Well if your on the big 5 email list they do at least once a month send out a discount on guns. the % varies month to month but its worth the wait.

                        The 2 I got at Big 5 on Black Friday are probably the nicest ones I now have out of 6 total.
                        $109 each + tax and DROS worked out to about $260 OTD since they only charge the $25 DROS once.

                          ^^^^ Was that at the San Dimas loc ? If so I looked at them also and thought they where very nice. I got a '34 Tula Hex ex-dragoon from the Chino store that is all matching, no counterbore, heck all I had to do was boiling water and run a patch down the barrel and it was super shiney. The CAI you can find on good sales there but the PW's don't sell for to much less then the $130 mark on sale. Still not a bad deal though considering ammo prices.

                              Damnit, guess I'll have to wait it out until the next big 5 sale.
