Dated 1939, this Mosin Nagant is listed as an M9 1/30 in 7.62x54R. The seller says it comes with extra stuff but does not say what, so ask before you buy.

Either way, inspect it. If you want a clean historical rifle, check for original parts, and if you want a shooter, make sure it feeds and fires. Old and new rifles alike reward a simple routine of cleaning, a light coat of oil on the metal and a dry place to sleep between trips. A good sling makes any rifle of this type easier to carry, and a padded buttpad helps if recoil bothers you.

The Mosin is a cheap and rugged way to shoot a powerful round. The cartridge handles deer and hogs well, and surplus ammunition has been plentiful. The bolt is a little stiff at first and smooths out with use.

At this price it makes a fair range rifle or a base for a hunting project. It is sold as described. It ships to a licensed dealer you pick, and the background check is completed there.
