Someone is finally making one- A Mosin BB gun!
It's an M44, complete with folding bayonet and dog collar sling. It holds a few more rounds than the original, 16 BB's in the removable magazine. It is a Co2 gun, the Co2 cartridge can be changed without tools.
I'll stop gushing, here' s the link:

I'd like to get one for the 4-H program, but I don't think they'd cover it!

I figured Jim would have that reaction, but you beat him to it.
Yeah, you could buy a real one for the same or less.....
It'd be a nice way to start a kid or grandkid out, though.

Re: Pyramyd is taking Pre-orders.....
Cool and all but as I own numerous versions of the real thing I am less inclined to spend $300 on magic bean...I mean a plastic BB shooting Mosin. Good for the kids who are too young for the real deal and who can talk mom and dad into dropping three Benjamin's on that.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

I'll be putting my greenbacks on a real Mosin.

$300 will buy a lot of bananas down at the docks, hell, I am too cheap to spend that on a real M44, good luck getting me to do it for a toy.
