Mosin question.

[35 Whelen]

I don't really know much about mosins except how to rack the bolt and shoot them, so I figured I'd ask you guys about these two options I'm looking at

You want solid, informed advice on Mosin's your best bet is here:
http://forums.gunboards.com/forumdisplay.php?3-The-Collector-s-Forum-Mosin-Nagant-HQ

or here:
http://www.surplusrifleforum.com/viewforum.php?f=28

I assure you you'll get more than opinions or conjecture at either of these sites.

Good luck,

Listen to USAF Vet. Paying for a so-called hand pick is a waste of money. He's right about the Classic Arms site,too. Most people can do without all the filler, and having to scroll the whole thing to get any information. Southern Ohio Guns has reasonable prices for mosins, but what you'll get is a crap shoot. However, two years ago they had a free shipping sale for long guns and I threw the dice. They sent me an all-matching, tula ex-dragoon, 1927 in really wonderful condition, nice bore, tho I'm not sure if the stock is right. 82 bucks to my door. So you can never tell.
