There were some at the gun show in Murfreesboro yesterday for $149, but they were pretty rough.  What kind of shape are the ones in Goodlettsville?

There were a few out of maybe 30 total that weren't too awful bad.

Keep the 91/30 and just save up for the next one. You'll never get close to your investment back on your 91/30, you'll be lucky if they offer you $50. Besides, you need at least two Nagants.

I got mine from SOG for $128 delivered to my door. It's matching except for its Soviet bolt, and it's in good shape. I'll try to post some pics soon!

Just ordered a trio from SOG, $94 each. I'm sure they'll be dogs - but I can't resist strays! :)

Update: (and sorry for the hi jack!):

 

Got my 3 T53's - 2 of 3 ain't bad - bores are excellent, and one of those put 4/5 rounds in the black on a 4" at 100 meters - with my tired old eyes! My son got away with the other keeper before I could shoot it.

 

The third gun, however: looks like it was buried in a sandbar for a long time, then the receiver ground/sanded off. Has the worst bore I have ever seen, deeply pitted, although some rifling is visible. Fired moment of trash can lid, with an exceptionally loud report on 2-3 rounds. Two cases were split at the neck/shoulder. This is steel case Polish surplus that's given me no problem in other guns. I guess there is significant throat erosion to cause this.

 

Calling now for a return authorization...

 

PS: Also got a Steyr M95 Hungarian, beautiful rifle!

Wideners has M44's listed on the home page as available for $209.  They just posted them yesterday and are not showing up under the RIFLE/C&R category.   I hope to pick mine up on Tuesday.
