Only a few million of the hundreds of millions were ever refurbished or rebarreled. They're cheap because they're shit and it isn't economically viable to sift through the shit for a kernel of corn.

The pictured Finn 28/30 is a great rifle....people who went on and on about how great the average shitty refurb M91-30's were realize that since they now cost more than a carton of smokes that they really aren't worth buying

The rifle itself is evidence of its shoddy construction and inconsistent production quality.

The Mosin is one of the worst bolt guns to be used through WW2. It was cool when they were $59.99 at J&G Sales but with some places asking over $300 for them you can do better.

It was a good deal for $100.
Back when another $100 could get 880 rounds for it it was even better.

But now it actually has to compete with modern low end bolt rifles and bottom of the rack Savage will be preferable.
