I saw some posts on FB about LGS getting Mosins recently with a Century mark so I checked there site. They have very good condition and good incompletes. The VG are 159 and come with all the accessories and matching bayonet. I didn't have a 91/30 at the moment so I ordered one. I received a '37 Tula in a postwar stock that looks perfect underneath all the goo. I'll put up some pics when I clean it up.
Is LGS a vendor or an acronym for Local Gun Store? I'd like to order a couple of grab bag mosins at $159!
Local Gun Store, I just got an email from Centerfire, they have them for 199 delivered.
sounds like a good price from your LGS, congrats. thumb1
Anything under $200 is a fair price these days. But it doesn't seem too long ago that folks were complaining that they jumped from $79 to $89....
... one day, they will all disappear from the surplus market. And we'll complain again! :)

Ain't that the truth! If there wasn't something too expensive to complain about many of these collectors just getting into the game would have nothing to do! chuckles1
I agree under 200 is fair. If Century is selling to the average Joe for $159 some of these places charging close to $300 are gouging imho. If I'm spending over $200 I'd start thinking about a Mauser or Enfield.
This one ended up cleaning up really nice. No signs of rust anywhere and the bluing is good.
