How Much Now?

At one of the local pawn shops we discovered that a bog standard Mosin-Nagant Model 91/30 with a hex receiver and laminated stock is $400.

The shocker was that a fairly nice Rifle Number 4 Mark 1 was $900!

Have surplus prices really gotten this out of hand?

    Hey Angus;

    They got stupid with Milsurp after Sandy Hook, I was looking at a ok Mosin Nagant with bayonet at a local pawn shop for $169 then Sandy hook happened and it was $400 the next day and they kept climbing.

    Yes, they have gone up in price substantially - no, they haven't gone up THAT much.
    I find that pawn stores are generally high, especially for guns. I've seen a number of MN options locally for $250 - $300.

    During the Obama years, people were buying up everything in sight. My local gun shop (they do most of their business at gun shows, but they do have a small store here) had a big picture of Obama up, with the words "Salesman of the Year" under it. Between that and the supply drying up, the price went up.
