Mosin M39 or M44

[ac3boyz]

Anyone know if there are any to be found in the Mid Tenn area?

[roverboy]

I don't kmow if any gun shops have any or not but, you can still get them from some of the dealers like Southern Ohio Guns and J&G Sales . As far as I know anyway.

You can get an antique receiver M39 from here http://www.gunsnammo.com/ that requires no FFL. What is available changes often.

Thanks for the advice. Does anyone have any experience with empire arms?

[Tempest455]

Do you mean M38?

M39's are rare animals and very pricey. M38's are basically M44's without the bayo and are much more common.

[ac3boyz]

Tempest, thanks for clearing that up for me. Guess I need to do more research. What I'm looking for is a Mosin that's shorter than my 91/30 without spending a bundle. Looks like it's the 38 that I'm looking for. Thanks

M38's seem a little more difficult to come by between the two. M44 is probably going to be the cheapest route. AIM had a special on them last month.

empire arms is a well known seller in the hobbie .you pay alittle more but you get what you are paying for no problems with ordering from him.

I've never bought from them but apparently Pat Burns is THE major source for M39's and has been for quite a while. The stock changes constantly.

SOG is the only other dealer that sells them.

I'd love to have one. They are beauts! I have a M44 (actually a Chinese Type 53) and it's a lot muzzle heavy with the bayonet permanently attached. If I could have found one at the time, I would rather have had the M38.

That AIM thanksgiving deal was awesome.

Tolivers pawn in manchester has them, i bought my hex receiver 91/30 there for just under 120.

they have also started stocking mauser and carcano rifles

M38 in Vonore at Farnsworths

Is there anywhere near Memphis that stocks these? I'd really like to check one out.

Gunbroker is your best bet for a 38. AIM has the 44's time to time.
