Same here! I walked into a Big 5 years ago, (for what I can’t remember) and 10 days later I walked back out with a 91-30. The following years was a blur.
Funny that you mentioned checking the firing pin. I bought a mint 1891 Argentine, took it to the range Friday. I was very excited to shoot this particular rifle considering its condition and it was the first rifle i set up to group that day. I pulled up and click, check primer no strike. I unscrewed the bolt and found the tip was blown off the firing pin. Luckily when i was young and foolish i bought a cut up sporter Argentine for $75, i just took the pin out of that one and went out the next day with it. Very accurate stacking em in at 200 couldnt miss a shot with the thing wow! Great work with the content brother👍
I invested in bore gauges and they have helped tremendously. I dont buy blind from online, so all of my collection i was able to go hands on before purchase.
This refers to the Mosin Nagant rifle. There is a lot of information out there because of the array of iterations of the Mosin Nagant over a hundred years. Mine is a Sky Trooper model. I am thinking it's an M28, but could be an M27. The M27 was produced from 1927 to 1940 and had a 27 in. Barrel. Mine has a 26 in. barrel dated on the bottom side 1927. The receiver is marked 98r on the back side of the tang, which suppse to indicate that the receiver was made in 1898. So, my Mosin had a barrel change. And I read that the Finnish did not make Receivers. My only conclusion based on this information is, my Mosin is technically considered an antique. But I am not sure if it is an M27 or An M28. Any comments would be appreciated.
I appreciate these videos. I really wish I purchased some of these rifles 20 plus years ago when I was looking around at Big 5.

A below market price was my first reaction to the title lol.

And make sure there aren't any missing parts on the rifle.
I just can't wait to get my hands on a surplus M9
And here I was lately thinking your main criteria was a sale ad from RTI. 😀😁
