I bit the bullet today... now with pics

I broke down and bought a Mosin Nagant at a yard sale, he had four there and said he has more. Got it for a Ben Franklin. Pics later. Has 1943T on it and what I think is a build date of August 4 1939 on the bolt.

your not supposed to eat the bullets, you are supposed to shoot them....
congrats, but without pics it did not happen

How much did you end up paying? Got an address so I can check and see if he has any left?

WTF? People find guns at yard sales all the time! I've never seen a single firearm for sale at any yard sale I've ever visited!

Very nice, but as INGW said

without pics it did not happen

I have noticed the same thing, but I only go to yard sales about 3X a year.

Ben Franklin= $100

A buddy of mine is into them also. He bought one at one of the recent gun shows at the fairgrounds. He's pretty knowledgeable about them. If you have any questions I can probably get you in contact with him. I guess they are really good shooters!

Perhaps 1943г (from год = year). The bolt should have the serial number but I've never seen one with a date code.
Looking forward to pictures.

Oh, and don't forget the INGO Mosin group thanks to ATF Consumer: INGunOwners - Mosin Nagant Owners

Welcome to your new addiction.

I will work on the pics tomorrow night long day today and another long one tomorrow. The numbers on the bolt are 8 4 39. He has one more of the 1943's and a carbine model 100 for the 1943 and 150 for the carbine, he says he has more on top of those and he has an FFL.

Now with pics for the nay-sayers....

Thanks for the plug...I carried my M44 during the OC walk in downtown Indy

Just joined the Mosin group would've yesterday but iPhones are ok to some extent posting on a forum is kind of tedious, forgot to tell ya I got a box of ammo with the purchase. Ten rounds think.

Can you guys see the pic? If not I will link it from here.

I need more for my collection. I wish I could find a beat-up M44 at a show, but even the beat-up ones are going for twice what I want to pay.

Very nice find! Those 10 rounds will be just enough to get you addicted to the BOOM!!!!

the guy that does my transfers has some that are buttery smooth for $107.

I bought one of them this past january and it is a blast to shot but for some reason i always have the problem of it shooting high and the back sight is all the way down so i am not sure how to fix the problem. Other then that i really like the gun.
