Looking to get a Mosin Nagant from AIM>
Just curious about their condition ie; bore .crown, stock condition,etc. For $70, what do you think I'll get, or is this just the going price? I know AIM is a respected company, so I would find it hard to believe that they would knowingly sell junk. So should I purchase or look elsewhere? |

I received an excellent condition rifle. Also as a bonus when I checked the markings it was later used by East Germany since it had their mark on it. AIM does not charge extra for that. Most other vendors sell the East Germans (when found) for twice to three times the normal cost of a 91/30.
So I consider myself lucky. |

Quoted: Quoted: that's the going price...order away and don't bother with the handpick and don't ever buy fewer than 4. LOL QFT...I ordered 2 rounds...then 2 hex's...and when I went to pick up the hex's I ended up buying a M44 that the gunshop had for $135. I've vowed to not buy any more MN's unless they're Finnish, Polish, Hungarian, or M38, M91, M44, or M91/59 |

Thanks for a heads up about the AIM sub forum.
If I decide on a round receiver I'll order it in the next day or two. Hex's are scheduled to be back in stock in appx. 3 weeks. Decisions, decisions.... 
Although, for the price to buy one of each it is less than my AR's scope mount. lol

| I got 2 Mosins early this year from AIM (one round, one hex). I did not take the hand pick option. The round was definitly the pick of the litter, beautiful rifle. On the hex, the receiver and barrel look great, but the stock I'm not sure about (could be caked cosmoline or who knows) and the bolt takes a bit more muscle to operate than I would like. I still need to wrap them in trash bags and leave them in the sun (if I ever see warm weather here) to get the cosmo flowing out of the wood and rifle. With luck this may clear up my only complaints about the hex one. For the price you can not argue with some minor "flaws". I have seen worse condition mosins being sold (and actually selling) for more. |

A sling is included (along with a few other things). |
