I sold my well-used, corroded-bore m44 for a hundred bucks at a gunshow recently. Saw lots of crusty beaters for around 150. Whats with the prices? I just got a sweet Finn m39 for 150!
I picked up one in good condition for about $120 some months back. They've seemed to have dried up since; I don't think I've seen any in the last few shows I've gone to.
Three weeks ago, the show at Southaven MS had zero Mosins on Saturday.
My buddies, who have bought/sold numerous MNs and SKS noticed this very quickly.
