Ive never found what I would call a deal at a pawn shop..... Ive seen a lot of guns that I would have liked to have had, but im not going to pay $175 for a 20 yr old ruger 10/22 when you can buy a new one for $25 more
I saw one Mosin a couple of years ago, completely engraved and it looked like a pretty good job, a traditional scroll pattern. It also had exceptional wood for a Mosin, possibly a restock but full military lines. They were asking about 1300 for it.
There was a mosin at the World Sniper Tournament in Finland last year that was in a custom stock and had been rechambered in 300 Winmag. That rifle cost a pretty penny to make.
I always wondered if some of these stores charge ridiculous prices because they are........ not so meticulous in their background check paperwork.
$600 for a Mosin? Maybe it belonged to Vasily Zaytsev?
Must've belonged to Josef Stalin.
I got an M28 Finn from a nasty little pawn broker for $100. It was marked as "Roosian Rifle."
