Anyone thinking about starting a small militia?

That's probably not a bad deal.

That brings up the joke about 10 people showing up at a militia meeting. 5 of them are BATF agents, 4 FBI, and one guy that just came for the punch and pie.

meh, not really

You can easily find Hex 91/30 Mosins for less than $90/ea in excellent condition.

Very much so. Unfortunately I sold mine before I ever shot it. Divorce + living in suburban Illinois is a bad combo.

Well if that time ever comes around again pick up a Finnish M39. Now those are some fine Mosins.

I'm looking. Aren't those supposed to be like the cream of the crop?

Yea, the M39 is pretty much the top tier (except for the M28/30 which is real hard to find now).

I have one built on a Russian capture 1897 Tula hex receiver that works as well as the day it rolled off the line in the 40s. They are very sturdy guns.
