Century 91/30s

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.

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!

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.
