Are the days of cheap mosins for beginners over? I remember years ago the advice for aspiring gun owners was to buy a nugget because it dirt cheap and required no FFL.

Been over for quite some time
no, you're just a moron who picked a high end desirable mosin from your shitty gunbroker search
$305 for a Mosin is expensive
500 dollars cheaper then OP's image, and if you're committed to buying a mosin you could atleast develop the bare minimum skills to shop online for a gun
$300 before fees for a war-production mosin is fricking godawful in the grand scheme of mosin pricing. I got my ex-sniper for $125
So glad I bought my mosin when they were basically stocked 40 at a time at any gunstore just flying off the shelves.
My only regret is I didn't buy more.
Mine was 90 dollars.
Wow you’re so cool boomer.
>tfw missed a stunning and brave nugget
Frick
Buy an AR15: they're never going to be cheaper than they are right now.
honestly. and this probably isn't the best deal
>tfw you missed out on the 280$ psa blem kits back in 2015
Tfw you missed out on $250 for a complete PSA AR back in 2018
Unironically this. It's always a meme to shit on [popular thing] but the AR is chosen by militaries world-wide for a reason, and the fact that you can easily get one in the current year for $400 is insane.
The entire reason the SKS and the nugget were the memes of their days was price, and the cheap AR these days blows that price:performance ratio out of the water.
>Finnish 19th century hex receiver Mosin
>at all comparable with your bottom-of-the-crate refurbed Soviet Mosin
yeah
Look at this fricking abomination
None of those modifications are irreversible.
That's what they told Ellen Page
I can't even tell what part of it's still a Mosin
I honestly wonder how many Donbaweans ended up not even getting a Mosin because some guy on /k/ bought it
it's been years since I've seen a single moist nugget post on this board. Cheap nuggets are long dead.
Cheap ammo was what made the nugget so popular, the fact that the rifle was also so cheap helped a lot though. Youve never not been able to get a carcano for less than 100 and they arent popular.
I think I payed $35 for that one lol
Oh and you can still get yourself a shitpipe refurb mosin for around $100 but you will have to go outside and talk to people.
>but you will have to go outside and talk to people
I agree not worth it for garbage rods. Now $250 Colt 1903s...
>orator
>my Vienna period
>Marxism
That's Mein Kampf, right?
Yes.
How good are carcanos straight out-of-the-box compared to the average mid-war mosin that needs a bit of work to extract well?
They're not exactly common in my area but I have a thing for simple bolt action rifles. I already got a spanish mauser for very cheap, as well as a pre-war mosin, and am sorta looking at others C-tier bolties.
Much better in my opinion, theyre lighter and handier too. If I had to fight with one itd be the mosin though. Still deep Clean your rifle either way. The sticky bolt problem is really just a dirty chamber or locking surface in 99,9% of the cases.
Oh thats nice to hear, thanks anon
825? Damn I bought mine years back for $79.
Hell I remember the "militia in a box"
I bought a "broken" hungarian carbine for $60 a few years ago. It was "broken" because it was penetrating primers because they had reinstalled the firing pin as far as they could screw it in. It was wearing a hideous plastic stock too but a couple months later I bought a hungarian carbine stock from the same place for $20 which suspiciously was a perfect fit. It is the smoothest nugget ive ever handled including Finns and Polack models.
Not like she had breasts to begin with.
Probably because he was always a boy 🙂

>Are the days of cheap mosins for beginners over?
They are until this giant Slavic bumfight ends. If the Russian Federation remains intact under new leadership there might be a chance that they try to modernize and finally get rid of their old shit. That said, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it to happen.
>bought a crate of 20 for shits and giggles in 201
>"bro thats so dumb they ain't worth that"
half of them are still in cosmoline.
2014
Paid $90 for my carbine from big 5 back in the day, left for work a little early and had extra cash from weed. Should have got ten lol
440rd ammo tins were 70 at the gun show at the time, still have a can
Yes. Cheap milsurp is gone, probably never to return since governments have changed their policies regarding old service weapons, plus existing laws mean most weapons being retired either can't be imported or can't be owned, period.
Not going to stop me from getting something old and historic anyway, but I'm adjusting me expectations and saving accordingly.
>Are the days of cheap mosins for beginners over?
They've been over since the initial invasion of Ukraine almost a decade ago resulted in the cheap imports grinding to a halt (since most of what was being imported was coming from the area that became the DPR and LPR), with Mosin Nagants jumping in price to about what a cheap AR or SKS would cost and the cheapest ammo being new steel case that cost about twice as much as cheap .223 or 7.62x39mm.
Also, Finnish Mosin Nagants like you posted have always sold for a premium.
As much as I hate to agree, the narcissistic wienerholster has it right, cheap ammo was really the driving force behind the nugget being so accessible. Now they're about the same price as a low-end AR which is functionally a much better weapon if you're purely talking value-for-money.
If you want a mosin because the memes rotted your brain then they're still quite accessible though not as cheap as they once were.
Long over. You can build or buy an AR-15 for $500 or less, and while it's possible to find a Mosin for slightly less than that the difference in ammo cost will close the gap quickly. Besides which the AR is going to be far easier to learn on due to the lower recoil and far more capable as a battle implement.
The problem with Mosins back when they were less than a c-note is you had to really, really know how to tell if the bore was shot, and most newbs don't, and a lot of them were bad. They still worked, you could get most if not all of ten rounds on a paper plate at a hundred yards but that was it for the garbage rod editions. Yeah you could hunt with it but the chance you wouldn't get a clean shot wasn't really worth the savings.
Ammo was also as ridiculously cheap, like 17 cpr for what people considered (probably wrongly) the best spam can ammo (188), which was still mil surp. In reality, any commercial brass is probably more accurate, but it was the cheapest way to a rifle and ammo for it, so most enthusiasts got one because why the hell not for that little money.
Now, the only reason is for collections. You can buy one of the cheapass bolt guns now brand new for the same price and manage 1 moa.
I didn't buy one years and years ago when anons were telling me to pick up one up for 150 bucks because they said I might be able to find some 100 dollar ones still.
So when Russia collapses again. Can I get a nugget for cheap again? What other guns do you think we'll beable to get for cheap?
Nah, cheap nuggets ended after Sandy vegana. Unless Ukraine captures the majority of western Russia we won't be seeing shit since there are import bans on guns and ammo against Russia and no Dem Prez is going to undo that (and we will have Dem prezs for a long time until Trump fades from memory).
No Republican prez would give us the guns either.
>ynr Dubya banned chink guns and ammo
>ynr that's still in place
>>ynr Dubya banned chink guns and ammo
That's mostly part of a Clinton era deal with China where they got better trade relations in return. All imports from Norinco got banned under the Bush administration because they violated sanctions on Iran.
The reasons are irrelevant. It took ~220 years for the Supreme Court to unequivocally establish that yes, we the people have a right to pack heat to defend ourselves. There's been good progress across states to nuke some of the worst laws, but the nature of our country is that changes frequently come glacially. The simple fact is that, regardless of which party is in the Oval Office, it's going to be a very long time before we'll be able to import guns like we did in previous decades.
>nooooo m-muh second amendment, you can't ban a company that happens to sell guns among other things from selling on the US market because they were helping Iran acquire nukes after US sanctions on doing so were already in place
imagine simping and shilling gun control on /k/
The Second Amendment doesn't protect foreign companies from import bans.
Just because it's within the States power doesn't mean it's a proper exercise of it dipshit.
they've been over for like a decade.
Are you posting from the year 2010?
Lies most mosins needed an FFL. It has to be like pre 1899 to not need an FFL. Or you have to have a C&R license. Otherwise even a $79 mosin usually was $15 to ship then another $25ish for an FFL transfer.
Yeah there is literally no point now unless you think they are cool and simply really want one. For the same price you can get a savage axis with a scope in whatever caliber you want and it will be more accurate then almost all mosins.
