Wish it was closer, might be able to set up across the street and pick up a really cool old BB gun for cheap...

  Tell us how you really feel!

I have bought 30 of these, all after Dec. 19th 2012, and none of them have cost more than $13/mag, shipped.  While I'm sure these, like most other things we buy, will be affected by inflation in the future, what would make them have a drastic net cost increase, accounting for normal inflation?

Second thing to go is your eyesight, the third is... umm, ah, oh damn I just thought of it a second ago...

Went today to check this one out.  Few vendors, probably 20-25 tables, not a lot of inventory there.  Too bad, as I was hoping this one would have a better turnout.

Went to the gun show at union City today, saw 500 rd bricks of Remington 22lr marked at $130, strangely he seemed to have several in stock...

Can't answer your question directly, but CMT Tactical is located on Law Road just outside of Jackson, mt guess is that if they don't do this type of work they will know someone in the area who does.  Their site is https://www.cmttac.com/index.php?route=information/contact

That's apparently the new normal time in this part of the world, as several others have reported the same.

What are your goals for the rifle?  A collector would be concerned with arsenals, rarity, age, etc., for a shooter none of those matter.  Like others have posted, condition of the wood, metal finish, rifling and crown are far more important than markings.  I'll have to respectfully disagree with a couple of statements though, first don't concern yourself with "hex" vs. "round" receivers if you are looking for a good shooter.  The cosmetic differences have no correlation to performance, any "corner-cutting" that might have occurred during wartime production has long ago been remedied as these rifles have been through numerous refurbishment processes, the bad ones were cannibalized for parts many years ago.  Second, don't automatically reject a counterbored rifle, most were done to eliminate crown erosion due to nicks from improper cleaning techniques.  The armorers who took the time to counterbore the rifles usually chose ones that had good bores but bad crowns, they are quite often better shooters than non-bored examples.  Checking headspace and firing pin protrusion is always a good idea on any surplus rifle prior to firing it, a thorough cleaning is also a necessity.  "Sticky bolt syndrome" is almost always the result of cosmoline in the chamber, investigate how to properly clean the bore and chamber and you should be good to go.   If you are looking to start a collection, a different set of criteria apply.  Check out the info available at 7.62x54r.net (especially the forums section), mosinnagant.net, and the Russian section at surplusrifles.com for a start.  Terence Lapin's book "The Mosin Nagant Rifle" is another good source.  Eventually you will find that serious collectors aren't very interested in common 91/30 refurbs, therefore most of the rifles commonly available in gunstores now aren't very collectible (there's always that apocryphal story of the 1907 carbine found on the shelf at the LGS for $100, so we do continue checking the racks in hope!).

Bubba strikes again.

But he did say "my bad"...

Yeager?  LOL

Just saw on another forum that it was 12k mags in 80 minutes.  The buying frenzy continues...

And gone.  Not sure how many total they had, but I know they showed 7000 of the non-windowed mags in stock when they ad went up.  Something over 10000 total in 80 minutes.

Running repeated auctions for them on Gunbroker...

At AIM surplus, http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=MMAG571BLK http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=MMAG556BLK http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=MMAG570BLK   1000's as of 7:00 pm

In the world of politics, this is a disqualifying characteristic.

Got one about an hour ago from AIM surplus, had a limit of 1 or I would have ordered more.

In a conversation with David (dlm) in the chatroom this week, he brought up an interesting point.  Apparently Russia has recently relaxed some of their gun restrictions on private possession of firearms, making ownership of .22 rifles easier.  The Russians are buying up huge amounts of the available .22 ammunition, as it sells for much more there than here, thus offering increased profit potential for manufacturers.  If true (and David is certainly more an expert in this subject than I), the competition for available supplies will remain high for a very long period of time.

https://www.libertytreecollectors.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=187&idcategory=17  $10 here fro a complete interruptor/spring set, also has the early 1 piece in stock for $27.  Numrich has the interruptors only for $13

I use a Craftsman multibit set I bought years ago, has straight, phillips, hex etc. along with a good set of hollow ground bits which work very well in my guns.
