The $350 Mosin Nagant.

[Bluedragon]

Saw this on gunbroker, can anyone tell me why this guy wants $350 for what looks like a run of the mill Mosin Nagant?

SWEET! I've got that same gun. I only paid about $100 for mine... Im gonna put it in the classifieds and get three times what I paid for it!

 

[paperboy]

Wow! I have seen snipers with scopes for that!

It's an M44 but not listed as such. I'd say he has no idea what its value is, since he lists it by barrel length rather than model number and gives very little description. Given the relative scarcity of M44's, $150-$170 is about what I would expect it to go for, barring any sort of other collectible feature about it.

The only things I see special about it is that it has a laminate stock and is a carbine version. The info given about it is very vauge so I am not really sure why the price is so high.

 

[Donnelly]

Why? Because some people might be dumb enough to pay that much?

 

[Scutter01]

The info given about it is very vauge so I am not really sure why the price is so high.

I can only guess that he either pulled the number out of his butt, or searched GB for "mosin nagant" and averaged the prices he saw, which would include many examples actually worth that much.

I haven't seen that type of ammo pouch before? Anyone else have input on what that is?

 

[2cool9031]

Maybe the poor guy just needs the money. LOL

 

[mrussel]

The laminate stocks are beautifull but I wouldnt pay 350 for one,in fact I just paid 100.

I don't know if the "na" he has in the serial number is actually part of the #...or if he just put "NA" as in not-available...

But S/N 5588, on an M-44 MIGHT (And I mean "might" depending on what that "na" means) mean a 1944 model M-44.

Given the author of the auction, however, I doubt it.

A 1944 M-44 wouldn't be that high anyhow.

Gave $50 for my M44, no import marks, perfect dark walnut stock, and I still wouldn't ask more than $125 for if I did get rid of it, which I won't. That guy needs to quit smokin up all his profit!!

 

[dice dealer]

I'd say he was just NUCKIN FUTS

 

[sertboy354]

Way over priced

I dont see anything wrong with huge buy it now prices, just in case there is a bidding war between collectors looking for a specific gun. the reserve price is where the greed is indicated. after all, dont we all look to get as much as possible out of an auction? I mean that is those of us who dont have tons of money....

I agree. I allways set buy it nows high. Not that high though. The idea is,if someone really wants it,then they can take it,otherwise,let the bidding go.

To much money, but you don't see as many M44 anymore, not like you use to anyway

 

[Fordtough25]

I agree, I have had mine for about 5 years now, and I didn't give that much for it. Still a great shooter!
