we all know its not hard to find a mosin nagant for sale for 100 or less, and i've been tempted many times.
but now i think, with a big gun show coming up locally in a few weeks, i might purchase one in a face to face sale. i've heard numerous things about quality being hit or miss, how some function great at 100 yards or so and others cant hit the broad side of a barn.
so anywho, question being, is there a way to tell before purchase? what are some things to look for to insure that i can hear that delightful *gong* at 100 yards with iron sights?
