Well... it's your money. I guess.

My local cabelas wants $850 for an M38 with a mismatching bolt.

Congrats. My m38 is my favorite Mosin. Surprisingly accurate too for a counter bore.

>>33912899
Please explain what a counter bore is in idiotese.

This came up in several threads and I can't find shit on what it means except a few stupid mystical BS threads on old forums.

>>33912875
Yeah theyre gettin a little spendy

>>33912899
Thanks! Cant wait to take it out!

>>33912917
It's where they go and remove the last inch or so of rifling, usually because it's damaged.

>>33912961
Ah.
I've seen enfields and shit with that.
I guess I was thinking of something else and got that and that artillery related thingy confused.

Thanks anyways.

ive never seen an m38 irl.. are they really that much smaller than an m44 or is it just the angle of the camera?

>>33913099
Just the perspective of the shot. They are on steps afterall.

>>33913099
AFAIK an m38 is just an m44 without a bayonet.

I just bought a mosin 91/30 today. 1944 tula all #s including bayonet for $275. Did I do good? I saw the same rifle for $400+ online.

>>33913621
I mean in today's market I guess so, but the fact that a 91/30 is $300 is absurd.

Congrats on your Mosin Anon. Have fun!
