1 Mosin for about $300.00 in ammo? A good deal BUT, the ammo will be gone and the Mosin will still be there. Your choice.

Seems like you have been buying guns, but have no ammo for them. It is not wise to do. Right now, I suggest you keep your guns but stop buying any more guns for a long time. Just concentrate on buying ammo for the ones you already own. No gun is worth anything to you if you do not buy and stock up with ammo for them. The thought of selling a gun for ammo is incomprehensible to me.

It was one of those things were a local shop had 7 mosins on sale for 100 bucks so I picked up a bunch and don't need the duplicate years and such so I can trade them off or sell them

As a rule I never trade or sell guns for ammo. Ammo can always be made, or bought later. Once fired ammo is gone forever, while guns remain, and will be there long after I am gone.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
