I seriously feel like buying a mosin nagant tomorrow lol. Doesn't mean I will, because I don't want to be distracted from studying (which I clearly am distracted from now, though I have a math test on the 2nd), but I feel like it. Got my tax return. Now I don't know if I want a chinese carbine or a russian 91/30. The longer barrel= higher velocity, but it's harder to hide and I'd have to buy another case lol. I've always wanted a carbine mosin because I love the huge muzzle flash and folding bayonet. But I hate things made in China lol, but this is an exception. I just want a heavy hitting .30 cal rifle with cheap ammo. The AK is fine, but the mosin is just something else.
Only thing that gets me about these chinese mosins is this part
I know light pitting can be removed with oil and steel wool, which I have, but the possibly cracked stocks or dark "serviceable" bores???

These Rifles are used surplus and are in overall Fair to Good condition as the pictures show. Please allow for obvious metal finish wear, possible light pitting and wood stock wear. Bores will be dark but serviceable. Cleaning rod is not included. Very limited supply, so while supplies last.
