My first Mosin-Nagant was an Izhevsk M91/30 I bought at a gun show for $70 that was around 2004.
Less than a year ago the going price on a 91/30 was $150.
Now I am seeing them for $225.
Finns are doing the same thing.
The $400 kiv/91 I was just drooling on was a $250 gun five years ago.
The 28/30 I stole from Willard was a $500 gun then and they are running $800 now.
Even the ubiquitous kiv/39 went from $300 in 2012 to $450 today.
