I was told today by a reliable source that these Mosins cost Classic $150.00 per rifle. The mini crates can not be shipped USP or FedEx as they exceed their weight restrictions of 75 pounds. They would have to be shipped by common carrier and that ain't cheap.

IMHO pretty big gamble buying all those mini crates at $150 a rifle...

I remember, back in the 80s, when the US had millions of Garands they were selling at $75 plus shipping. Granted the MNs are tens of millions, but I kick myself every time I see a Garand with $1200+ price tag on it. Just saying...
There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him. – Robert Heinlein
A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government. – Thomas Jefferson (1801)
