Southern Ohio Guns 44 Mosin Carbine - $50 for Parts Gun

[pegasusrider]

Found the ad last week on their website and decided to take a gamble and added hand pick. Ad says comes with bolt and barrel, missing small parts. Got home this evening and found mine waiting for me. Bolt is not matching, missing the front sight and trigger spring. Still have lots of grease to remove.

Thanks for the info, I just got done ordering one. Depending on how it checks out I may order a few more come Friday. Would you happen to have any pics?

If my finances were a little better I would order one of these with hand select. I've not ordered anything in a long time. Southern Ohio Guns has been good to deal with. I ordered 3 91-30 rifles from them and got all 3 quick.

thanks for the pics.... looks like a nice war time stock! I hope I get a good stock on the one I ordered

When I go to their website, I don't see any options to buy a Mosin parts gun. Do you have a link to the specific page?

Thanks.

You have to be logged into your account. It's on the third page under Long Guns, Surplus Long Guns.

It's a 1945 model. I'm off tomorrow and planning on cleaning the rest of the grease out of it. I found the best price on my missing parts at mosinmatt.com. Going to have to put a 91/30 front sight on it, can't find a M44 sight. I've got to get the headspace checked before I can shoot it. Anyone in Tri-Cities area have a field gauge?

Did you ever get yours in? Mine was full of thick grease that was stubborn to remove. I've gotten my other parts in and repaired my trigger (weak/bent trigger spring) and have the new front sight installed. My field gauge should be arriving any day and I look forward to shooting it this weekend if it passes.

Never purchased from them, do you have to have a curio and relic license to buy from them, or will they ship to FFL?

[Guest mr_b8908]

I got two in from them. One wasnt that bad as far as cosmoline goes, but the other I have given up on! One is pitted below the woodline, and both are missing the front sights and trigger spring/ bolt stop. Both have less than 10% finish and are non refurbished which is a plus IMHO. One is matching and the other is all matching but the bolt. All in all I am happy with my purchase. Now just to track down some parts!

check at mosinmatt.com for parts. They were the cheapest and arrived in a couple days. Mine was not packed with cosmoline, it was something simular to axle grease. My non-matching bolt passed the field gauge and going to try to shoot it on Sunday.
