Mosins available in Houston?

Post by quoheleth »

Any Houston area gun shops stocking milsurp Mosins? I'm kind-of interested in one - I figure for the price of the gun and ammo, it's cheap to own, cheap to shoot, and easy to keep for hard times (don't have a major investment tied up). I've found them on-line for $80 or so, but it's luck of the draw as to what you get, barrel-wise. I would like to be able to see & inspect what I am getting. If I have to, I'll go with the on-line crap shoot, but local would be preferred in the $100-125 range.

Thanks,
Q

There's a gun show at GRB this weekend if local gun stores don't pan out.

I'm curious as well. I've caught a case of "mosinitus" and now need a 91/30 to go along with my newly acquired M44. Houston is close enough for me to driver over and avoid shipping and transfer fees.

THey shoot as good as any milsurp out there if one does his part. 2-3 inch grps on sandbag hold at 100 yds are quite common or even better depends on ths shooter. Pick one with a perfect bore if at all possible.

Maybe check aimsurplus.com or classicarms.us

Just have your FFL buddy have it shipped to him for the transfer
