A $5000 Mosin Nagant Rifle?

$5000 Mosin Nagant Rifle

There has been some hubbub and debate over a recent sale on Gunbroker. It seems a US Military Marked Mosin Nagant Rifle has sold for $5025. The seller is listed as one of the top 25 dealers on Gunbroker. I am by no means a Mosin expert, but I do know some of the appeal of the type is the affordable price and ammunition.

 

So love it or hate it, you can now officially say you have heard of a Mosin Nagant rifle selling for $5000 US! It struck me as so unusual that it warranted a post. Below is a link to the auction product page. But eventually that will archive off their site. So I have also attached some photos of the action and the seller’s description.

 

I am in no way agreeing or disagreeing with the condition or value of the rifle. The market is what someone will pay for something.
