Man it's amazing how much these have gone up in price. I remember when you could get a tula stamped hex receiver for like $150 bucks not they are between 250-400
@@redrider7730 me too. I bought 25 of the hex receiver guns from dunhams in somerset ky about 10 years ago for $80. All arsenal refinished, bayonets, tool kits and oil bottles with slings. They didn't have price variations on different models, or stampings back then. No one collected them or knew what they was. I would go buy them 5 at a time.
Bought an excellent condition from yall 5 years ago... gun chock full of cosmoline 1/2” thick over the entire gun. Wiped some off the receiver to see the maker mark and it was deep pitted rust. The “excellent condition” gun had been rebored and “arsenal refinished” aka black paint put on rust. Sold it at a loss. Will never buy used from classic firearms again.
Just picked it up today, might have gotten lucky because the thing is absolutely perfect very very very minimal pitting on the butt plate. Bolt assembly has a nice shine and only found rust on the rings holding the hand guards. Super easy fix.
Glad my dad bought 12 of these for $75 each back when you could. Not knocking you guys at all just still can't believe how much these rifles went up in price.
I remember when Big 5 sold them for less than $45, then you could clip a $5 coupon out of their magazine, and get an additional $5 if you were Military. Yep... I was a kid, and I begged my dad to buy one, but he said "Nah Son, they'll be here when you're an adult, and you can buy as many as you want." I paid $105 for mine, and I thought that was outrageous...
I have a 1927 Tula hex 91/30 with all matching serial numbers including the same serial bayonet. And it looks like it is brand new. There is like no scathes or anything. Definitely recommend getting one.
Referring to those "double date stamps", my 91/30 has a date stamp of 1942/51/52. Doesn't that mean that it was rebuilt twice? I was always told that that meant it was issued out on those years. Either way I still love it, all matching numbers, metal is great, bolt is very smooth after some care but the wood is definitely used
Guys anyone who says classic is a scam or is bad at delivery ect is out of their mind. I ordered a mosin in fair condition paid 30$ for hand select and I could not be happier the bore is perfect condition and I mean perfect. No pitting and I was late on the buying of it too next day they were out of stock. I highly highly recommend them. I could not be happier thumbs-up from me.
That's awesome!. It's definitely got the power to take just about any animal in North America with good shot placement. I had an old friend who used a Lee Enfield mk4 as his trusty hunting companion. It's good to see these old rifles put to good use 👍
all four of my grandparents impossibly survived the Great Patriotic War, i bought this from you guys in honor of them and the general historical and cultural resonance of the eastern front
I remember when I bought my first mosin about 8 years ago and it only Cost me $120, CF had it for $220 and then it went up $50 overnight the other day for $270, crazy, people are asking wayyyyy too much for what used to be a yard javelin, and they aren't even being sold with the bayonets
I have one with new england westinghouse company 1915t on it. I got it years ago from a local store that had a barrel of them for 39.99 each. Cool guns.
You would think with it being the longest used caliber. There would be more rifles chambered in it. Id be happy with a single shot breakaction or a bolt gun.
Red Rider7 agreed. Sadly I wasn’t into guns back in those days so I missed out. I do want a mosin just to have in the collection. But not because I feel 7.62x54r is superior. What I really want is a garand and I tear up when I hear some old timer tell me how much he paid for his 😢
@@pewpeww556 Because there is a shit ton of surplus ammo and its cheaper then 308. And it's a really fun round to shoot and I want an accurate rifle to shoot it in.
Agreed. I bought a “hand selected” mosin from them and it looked like it was given a mud bath then left to sit for a good year. I mean the bolt hardly even closed
The double date guns have MO markings. This is a Ministry of Defense mark. Those were rifles used by the MoD after WWII for protection of government buildings and gulags. They used Mosins because they didn't want foreign prisoners to know about the SKS or later the AK. Also they were available by the millions post war and a guards rifle wasn't all that important so they didn't necessarily need more than a bolt action. However some MO marked SVT-40s exist as well but that was very uncommon.
$330 (+30 for hand pick). Look at the 3rd, 4th and 6th image. "Good surplus" MPN: RI3742H-G Tell me the ones in the video which are said to be FAIR condition look even close to the GOOD condition represented on their website.
I have bought about 12 guns from them. Trust me hand select is not worth $30. I have gotten hand select guns that if they was the best of 10 they should have thrown the other 9 in the trash can, because mine was terrible. The only guns I have found worth fooling with is the ones listed very good to excellent if your worried about cosmetics.
You'd literally be better off going on gunbroker, setting the max price range to $300, and stand a higher chance of getting a nice mosin, either the carbine or rifle.
no bayonet? my 1945 has a sling and bayonet. no cracks, no pitting. also came with an oil can, tools and a few other things. picked it up for about $100 in 2003.
Too bad my time machine is broken. I bought one with hex receiver last year for $239. Wasn't a bad deal, but not as good as the ones I hear about from couple of decades ago.
Bought a Good condition w/ cracked stock for $250 and am very pleased with that I received! I printed 4” at 100 yds and I haven’t done anything but clean it yet!
@@tylermccune7092 Nice. Yes mine is the same it is amazing. I also picked up a super nice 1895 Nagant revolver for $99.00 at the same show. What a deal. I wish the prices stayed that low.
The_Evil_Scooter No it was around 2008-2010 maybe. They had the rifle and a kit (which they couldn’t guarantee what was in it). They had crates of them they were selling. It may have been $79 but not higher than that. I can’t remember who was selling them at the time.
I’m really looking to get an M91/30 soon! I hope to buy one from a dealer near me, but if I have to buy online about how long does it usually take for dealers like this to have more of these rifles available? Just wondering how rarely they receive new shipments.
I got a tula refinished hex a while back and when I used the mineral spirits to remove the cosmoline I discovered that all they did was paint the metal and paint the wood so essentially went back to it's initial state before the so called refinishing happened. But still a nice rifle.
I have a question I had a Mosin Nagant years ago one of my first rifles but it did not have the same Bolt as most of the Mosin Nagant I've seen mine was more square at the back could have just been a replaced Bolt or was it a different style Mosin Nagant it was still a 7.62 x 54R
The rifle with the "crack" along the receiver is an ex-sniper rifle. The arsenals removed the scopes and mounts and replaced the wood. In the receiver they welded up the scope mount holes, ground them down, and reblued it. Sometimes the blue didn't take well because of the weld material, but sometimes it is very hard to see, if not impossible. Little tip- open up the bolt and look along the inside of the receiver- you will see 4 holes clearly from the scope mount. Also, the receiver will be stamped to indicate is a sniper as well (usually)- Tula should have a C N on it. Here is a link to see what I mean about the holes on the inside of the receiver. Warning! If you think the Classic guys butched the pronunciation of Izhevsk you are gonna LOVE how this guy pronounces it. ua-cam.com/video/RB7ZYt7RF4g/v-deo.html
Isaac Woolley Thats not really bad for these days. 100 dollar rifles don’t exist anymore, and probably they will only continue to go up unless more are imported
I have 2 mosin carbines one type 53 (date53) and one m44 post war (date45) but the are some of the most fun guns I have to shoot and I want to get a 91/30 just having the money to spend on it is the hard part I think I might get one though
Go to any gunshow and pickup a whole bag for like 5 bucks. Stripper clips are essentially one time use as far as a soldier is concerned, so almost no rifles will come with clips.
Awesome rifles:) I got mine from classic, Did not disappoint. I have a couple of videos shooting them💨 Why do I feel like getting another one when I already have Two🤔
