I think they've been at ~200 for quite a few months now.
If you're set on getting a Mosin carbine, you can get Chinese TYPE 53s for a good price, i'd recommend checking them out in person though  |

Looking for a Russian, online seems to be priced around $230, but every single source at that price or less appears to be dried up. Any leads? |

There's one in the EE for less than that.
EDIT: Nevermind, plus shipping on the ad. Same price. Anyways, in regards to if you should FO? I don't know. The surplus market on these will dry up eventually, don't imagine things get cheaper as stock runs out. $275 still isn't all that bad considering the Chinese Type 53s were beat to shit and selling for ~$125 shipped and up when available just a few months back. The M44's have been hovering just north of $200 for quite a while now with the exception of Widener's having some at $170ish. |

Quoted:
Price just went up $40 to $279 for 1944 Russian Carbine. This would be my first. Should I fo or try and wait and hope for a price drop? About the only thing that is going to produce a price drop is the discovery and importation of a huge stash of them. That's possible but probably not very likely. The history of of the C&R firearms market suggests that prices generally go up, not down. A few years from now you may be telling stories about when you could still buy a M44 for $280. Personally, I wasn't interested in Mosin carbines when you could buy them for $99. I'm still not. But I did buy a fair number of C&R firearms when they were much cheaper than they are today. What I've seen is that prices go up, supply dwindles and condition of available guns generally doesn't get any better. |

Where are you seeing Chinese T-53s? All the usual dealers seem to be out of stock at the moment. |

I have found Sportsman's Guide to be the cheapest source for ammo. Make sure you have a free shipping code.

A guy came into my LGS yesterday with a Hungarian M44 and a 91/59 to make sure they were safe to shoot. He said he paid $115.00 each for them the other day.
