Cheap Mosin carbine

[tshadow6]

My C&R license is on file with most of the big distributers. Which one sells the best Mosin Nagant carbines? I'm looking for a Russian made Nagant revolver also.

AIM surplus

As far as I can tell, there are only 2 major importers of military surplus at the moment: Century Arms and Inter-Ordnance. There are some "lesser" importers out there, but be sure to have a copy of your C&R on file with the BIG 2.

It seems to me, most C&R's buy there guns from "middle men" such as J&G Sales, AIM Surplus, SOG International, Classic Arms, Centerfire Systems, Military Gun Supply, Kiessler's, The Dealer Warehouse, Numrich or lesser importers like SARCO Inc, SAMCO Global, Tennessee Guns or Mitchell's Mausers.

Personally, I order most mil-surp's from the BIG 2. It's cheaper and the selection is far better. And, dealer prices on ammo from Century is dirt cheap! On the other hand, the BIG 2 are a tad slow to ship due to the sheer volume of their sales.

I only order from the middle men if I'm desperate or looking for a very particular code on a rifle. Many times, the BIG 2 are sold out, so the middle men are the only ones with a certain rifle in stock. Classic Arms (and even J&G Sales) will sort the rifles and offer individual guns letting you pick and choose which arsenal code, bore condition or other traits you may be looking for. You pay more, and often a lot more. Sometimes the lesser imprters offer some fantastic rifles, such as Tennessee Guns and their recently refurb'd Mosins with new barrels!

Compare prices from Century to any of the "middle men" - you will see that your incorrect. Century is consistently higher in price.

I know nothing of Inter Ordinance.

Since we are speaking of Mosins....

91/30 in excellent condition
Century - $90
Classic Arms - $80
SOG - $70

44 in excellent condition
Century - $85
Classic Arms - $80
SOG - $70

Compare prices of AK pistols from Cenutry and it gets far off....
7.62 AK pistol from Century - $500
same pistol from SOG - $390

$110 price difference for the SAME pistol. I bought mine from SOG, buddy bought his from Century.....both are marked the same. DCI receiver, Century roll marked....same gun.

They are consistently $20 higher on their WASR AKs as well.

Dang right. If you’re buying exclusively from Century or IO you’re paying too much in most cases. The thing with C&R is that if you want the best price you need to shop around. I just got another K31 and the prices for the same condition rifle varied by up to a $100. While I have done a lot of business with Century and they always make me happy in the end, I’ve found that they tend to overstate the condition of their weapons.

Op send your C&R to all these, get the catalogs and compare prices (shipping and insurance also) before buying.

sticky marine 8541's list. Thats the first thing I did when I got my c&r was sit down write out a nice "howdy, discounts please, and keep me in your records" letter and send it to all these guys. Then you can compare their prices and keep decent track of what they got.
Sorry for getting off topic.
