Chopped Up Mosins

[Talos]

Ok, I get that prices have went through the roof, but who the crap is paying $350+ for the bubbad Mosin Nagants I keep seeing for sale on here? I can understand that price for complete rifles but dang people have lost their minds.

Not complaining, just want to know who is ignorant enough to pay that.

Nobody is lol that’s why you keep seeing them

$350 is cheap for a bubba mosin on ODT. Seen more than a couple custom modified snapper riffle mosin's for $600+ on ODT. While we're on the subject how 'bout them modified SKS super operator riffles for $600, $700 with 2 ProMag nanner clips.

I remember wanting a mosin. I bought one, all nice and original. Spent a day cleaning it up, getting rid of cosmoline. It was so pretty. Took it to the range and discovered there has never been a more boring firearm ever built. Seriously, I don't get the attraction.

I am not sure I would take one if it was given to me.

You have to hunt from a canoe, to get the full effect of having one...

i understood it at 85 dollar rifles and 100 buck spam cans.

at todays prices i have zero interest

I see references to them in posts from local LGSs, without pricing.
What are they getting for them?

What about the SKS paratrooper or tanker that never existed?? Or the garage tanker, or the rifle with the black thingy on top that' makes it a sniper rifle?? Folks modify a barrel and it automatically becomes a tanker model. Oh, I forgot that the shortened version of the SKS was also called the "cowboy companion".
