Title: Hooked on Mosin Nagants. Who wants to go in on a deal with me?
Post by: DoubleJ on April 13, 2011, 11:03:08 AM: Found a couple of places that sell Mosin Nagants for $1000ish for a case of 20. Is there 4 people out there that want to go in with me? Everyone puts up $200 and we each get 4 guns out of the deal. PM me if interested

Post by: xd2005 on April 13, 2011, 07:14:58 PM: What kind of condition? In state or shipped to FFL?

Post by: DoubleJ on April 13, 2011, 10:42:24 PM: Shipped to FFL. Condition will probably vary but should be good. They are WW2 rifles so, I mean, you can't expect flawlessness. But, $50 a rifle for a piece of history that is a virtual tank and is still capable of sub MOA in the right hands, Gotta love whatever you get.

worst case scenario, you get 4 rifles for $200. Take them all apart, pick the best pieces and assemble 1 or 2 rifles that are in better condition as a whole than the 4 you got, and sell the rest for $40-$50 each and make some of your money back.

The financial guru of our house has told me that it would probably be a couple of weeks before we would be able to do this so, there is time.

Post by: KillBilly on April 14, 2011, 11:24:01 AM: And how would you propose the rifles are split up... last gets all the culls? I am not sure about this deal.....

I may be interested.

I figured I'd try to meet people somewhere since this is a statewide forum

I like the cut of your jib

Post by: DoubleJ on April 14, 2011, 12:24:44 PM: Also, found out the $1000 isn't firm. It depends on what is in stock at the time + FFL fees. Still shouldn't add too much to the total cost. One person PM'd me with a friend that has an FFL and may be able to cut us a deal. This is a fluid thing so, keep checking.

BTW, for those that are leery, like I would be, I have no problem offering full disclosure on cost with proof and offering one last in/out call on your part when the final numbers come in.

Based on current cost estimate, I have 3 firm and 1 tenative. One spot left. Again, the financial mind of my house has said to hold just a little while to free some bill money up.

Post by: DoubleJ on April 14, 2011, 03:04:02 PM: Well, sorry for those with high hopes but, while the participation was there, the importers I have contacted have been less than willing to help out. I am tabling this partnership until I can get a more willing dealer. Sorry again. If anyone that was interested wants to take this over, I am still interested.
