Would any body know how much this rifle would be worth it's a 1917 model in good condition works great too if nobody knows could you tell me of a site that might help
Thanks Doug Kinder

$150 tops, most go for around $100 but since it's an earlier model I would say $150 is not a bad deal.

Thanks for the info .

Just ordered one for $150 myself.

You can check at www.gunsamerica.com to look up prices.

On the topic of Mosin's, next month if there are still some around I will be buying one with the PU scope. They run from $400-$600, the price isn't too much of an issue since they get more rare each day.

Does it matter if the Rifle was made in Russia or Poland or somewhere the rifle i have is Russian

The most common on the market are Tula and Ivhevsk I beleive.

the places you quoted wouldThat would be the armories where they where made ?

The [auto-censored]nals yep.

Another good site is :
http://www.surplusrifle.com/

It has some history as well as info on how to break down and clean.

What the heck is auto-censored? All I wrote was ar$enals...

Thanks that is a interesting site very helpfull

I got the [auto-censored]nal part i was mistaken calling them armories

OK A.R.SENAL I THINK A.R.S.E IS ENGLISH FOR BUM AS IN BEHIND WHATEVER LOL :-)

$100-$150, OHHHHH my. I picked one up back in the late '70s for $25 Cdn with bayonet, sling, cleaning kit and 100 rounds of ammo! :-) A bunch of us got together and bought a case lot (12), my buddy had it delivered to his house. Just a wee bit of explaining about a case of guns, ammo etc on his front porch.

I realize I'm late on this..but I've seen some from that year, especially if it's a Remington made (yes, the US made them for the Russians for a time, as did the French). I saw one go on Gunbroker.com for $700

if it has any sign of being Finnish owned, it sometimes makes a premium.

try these sites

www.gunboards.com (great forums..lots of info)

and this one:

http://7.62x54r.net/

www.gunbroker.com is like Ebay for guns..

I knw the recent refurbs are going cheap like at Big 5, but honest to gosh, non-import marked early Mosins of the WW1 variety go for high dollars sometimes. you might have a rare one

I collect Mosins and Enfields, and I've seen the prices skyrocket on certain ones.

Where do you guys find ammo for a Mosin Nagant? I've had one for a few years and have never found cheap ammo for it.

Here's where i got mine.
http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/browse/browse.aspx?c=96&s=954

The ammo is very expensive ! but the Rifle is very powerfull , loud and fun to shoot and accurate .

I've got 2 Nagants. One is the M38, and the other is the M44. The difference being the M44 has a bayonet as the M38 does not. The M38 is dated 1939 and the M44 is dated 1945. The 38 has all matching numbers, and the wood and bluing is about 98%.

You can generally find the Nagants at Big 5 sporting goods on sale for about 90 bucks.


The ammo 7.62X54R is becoming more available. You just have to stay clear of the corrosive ammo.

True that is and Hungarian is I Think the one that is Corrosive.

Yellow Tip if I remember have a 1944 one myself.

Sweet action.

Corrosive ammo ? Is that Hungarian made ammo?

The Hungarian surpluses stuffs corrosive. At least what I’ve seen is.
Still safe to use just as long as you clean the gun once you get home. (Just don’t wait a day or 2 or it could start to rust on you. )
