I am going to be looking at Mosin Nagants this weekend and was hoping some of you might have some tips. As far as I can tell the Russian 91/30s, 38s, and 44s are closest to my price range, and I have heard you can still get a reliable, accurate gun. Is there anything I should know about accuracy, reliability, etc. in various types? Any recommendations for different types, (doesn't have to be one of the ones I mentioned)?
Also, I was concerned about the accuracy of the Mosins. Which ones were built to be fired with a bayonet affixed where I might have trouble later without one, or simply, which ones are known to be better manufactured and most accurate? Finally, are there other things to look for besides matching numbers, bullet test, shot or drilled out bores, etc. when looking at it in the store?
Just hoping you guys could educate me a little, thanks!
