Got this email today. The "special" was a hex receiver 91/30 with bayonet for $279.95...and if you wanted "hand pick" it is $10 more and then there is the freight charge. Then I looked in my book. I got a hex receiver 91/30 with bayonet, and sling, and ammo pouches, oil can, and tools ....for $87.47 delivered back in February of 2006. That's a pretty good appreciation.... if people are interested in buying such a one.
Somehow I wonder if there are any "collectors" left and if they are actually buying anything. Certainly ... judging by the activity on this site there can't be many left.

Re: 91/30 "Special"
That seems to be the going rate for hex receivers, if they even have them in stock.
I don't have a hex, but paid $79 for round 91/30 and M38 in 2004, retail at Big-5 in AZ.
Should have been buying SKSs and AKs...........

Peace is that brief, quiet moment in history.......... when everybody stands around reloading.

Re: 91/30 "Special"
Funny thing is Russian refurb'ed 91/30's are getting almost as expensive as Finn captured or SCW Mosins.
