If only I had > $4000.00 for the Mosin Nagants

[usabaker]

In one of my searches on PROXBID looking for Rifle Parts, I ran up on an auction for a Crate of Mosin Nagant 91/30 - ALL hex receivers.

Just having a crate of Mosins Nagants sitting in my collection would be awesome. I could never break them up..

Me either!!! Wow!!!

pick the best couple (and the crate!) for yourself, sell the rest...lower bound going rate is ~$400 each...that comes out to...well...people paying you handsomely for the couple pristine mosins you now have. will see what they sell for. over a month left.

It would be perfect if it weren't for the import markings. A crateful of hex receiver mosins is definitely something you don't see everyday. In today's climate in my area, you could get $500 easy for a hex receiver nagant

I'd be satisfied just with a few good sniffs of that open chest. Like a fine wine and matured over time I bet all that mature oil and cosmoline smell divine.

Wouldn't it be so cool to put a glass top on the crate full of Mosins as a Coffee table in the man cave...

I don't understood the demand for 'hex' receivers. The more I Mosin collecting I did the more I realized it literally means nothing except it was made before ~1936.

[usabaker]

it literally means nothing except it was made before ~1936.

But that's one of the reasons, older Mosins Nagants were fewer in quantity and as a collector is more desirable, well at least to me. They also look much sexier - LOL

[Eaglelord17]

Fewer in quantify is still millions made. It just isn't as many millions as WWII production

I agree with USA baker, they look much better and are not encountered as often. That's why it's at least incredible to me to see a whole crate of them. This would be the ultimate man cave accessory ha ha. And since they are all pre world war 2,wouldn't that mean that most of the hex receiver barreled actions saw action during the war? Especially since Russia was so strapped for guns and materials that everything they had was in use. I think that adds to the cool factor of the hex receivers as well
