Re: New member here.

Welcome aboard sir, and one thing you will learn about military surplus firearms and ammo in the era since 2015 is they ain't going to be getting any cheaper. :facepalm1: No joke! I paid $399 for a 91-30 from Bud's a few weeks ago. These things are fun to shoot. A Mosin stands out in a sea of moder...

Re: 91-30 from Bud's

Re: New Members, Make your first post here!

I just bought my first Mosin from Bud's. It's a 91-30, hex receiver Ex Dragoon listed as excellent condition. I appreciate the "no mods" policy here.
