is it worth it?

I have the option of a $150 on a Mosin Nagant (owner says it is good condition) in 7mm. I haven't seen it yet, but curious if it is a good price or not.

I don't know much about military surplus rifles, but I don't think that they made Mosins in 7mm.......I'm thinking either A.) it's not really a Mosin B.) It is a mosin, and it's a really RARE mosin, or C.) it is a conversion that may be of questionable strength.

Hopefully Adam Helmer or Gil Martin or one of the others can shed some more light on this one.......

Something does not sound right about this rifle and the caliber. I agree with Mr. 16 gauge and would examine the rifle very carefully to determine what it really is. I can tell you that it did not leave the factory as a 7mm. So it depends. All the best...

Mosin Nagant was chambered 7.62 x 54 Rimmed. That may be why they are calling it 7mm.
Most of them that I have seen are good shooters,although I don't much care for the style.

GOB,

I have never seen a Mosin-Nagant in 7mm. There are MANY models of MN arms from 1891, 91/30, 38 and 44. A good is not necessarily GOOD. Buyer beware. Keep us posted.

Ok talked to the owner again and he is using 7.62x54r (thankfully) in the gun. I will try to get with him next week about getting it into my grubby grubby hands.

Depends on what model and what year here in mich we see them for around 100 bucks.
I have a 44 but i didnt no that the 44 didnt realy come out till after ww2.
I beleave colectors like the 1891 and the 91/30 i could be wrong becouse i have not did a hole lot of home work on them.
