Local gun store has a number matching 1938 M38 Mosin in very nice shape, Hes asking $199
Any thought would be great Thanks, Clayton |
| good price in the current market. Is it an M38 stock or M44 stock? The last M38 I looked at was priced at $275. There were some newly imported ones on the market recently and they were about $199, but they are gone and prices are expected to go up. If you want one now is probably the best time to get it. |
Buy it! Pat Burns got away with selling an M38 with correct stock for $350ish a month or two ago. Dans Ammo had some correct M38's for $200 maybe 2 months back as well and they went super quick. I got one

I'm inclinded to say that it is either not an M38, or it is not dated 1938 because no M38's were made in 1938. A few dated as such have surfaced, but they were scrubbed and restamped. |

The M83 has the same rear sight as the M44. The sight you're thinking of is on the M91/59. (cut down M91/30) |

M44 RS = M38 RS; partially scrubbed M91/30 RS = M91/59 RS.

199 seems normal from what I'm seeing lately, but how have these gone up so much in value? I remember getting my m38 for 79 bucks.  It's all matching and correct stock too with a nice bright shiney bore.Word is there aren't any more to import so prices are going up. |

Should have bought more. $200 may be the current going price for them, but I won't pay that. |
