I would not buy such a gun without first shooting it, because I've seen too many bubbas fuck up in some way.
But there are plenty of good modifications for cheap mosins, some of them military mods, dating back to 50s and 60s. I remember seeing at a gun show a Finnish mosin mod from the 60s which was really cool.
>259.99
Last time I checked a physical shop, regular mosin was $209.99, so the price isn't too high.
Keep in mind people, this seems to be in CANADIAN DOLLARS.
