Yeah, I was lucky enough to get 2 that day. That had to be the best deal ever! I wish I had bought more, they sold out in a matter of hours.

Im lucky enough to live only 20 miles from there the owner told me they sold out in 1 hour and 36 minutes I wanted to buy three more when I picked mine up but they were gone.

Pro2A, where are you at in OH. I'm about 15 miles from AIM. In West Chester.

I live in riverside very mclose to the air force base. Did you go to the sharonville gun show today what a rip off guys trying to sell nagant pistols for 175.00 and no holster or extra cylinder. Who still has the enfield 2a in 308 for sale.

[TheRifleman]

I know exactly where Riverside is. I pay tax to them bastards even though I don't live there LOL!!!

I'm going to the Sharonville show tomorrow. Looking for ammo mostly.

Century M91/30 Ufixems, $19.87ea + $2.00 shipping. I got five. Three are near 100% on finish with G-G+ wood, one had a broken upper handguard and none on them have front sights. One has cleaning rod. All matching except bolt. A forth one is the same but about 80% finish. The last has a broken buttstock with only 50% finish but it has a front sight. Three of these should clean up to VG+ or excellent with a little stock refinishing and some front sights. The fourth will go G+ with no problem.

Yea I know my company is based in green co and I have to pay double taxes that crap sucks what kind of ammo you looking for and would you ever like to save some bucks and do a multiple purchase from sog or aim you know if you buy two or more its cheaper what kind of work do you do for riverside LEO????

I got in on Century's 4 fer of 91/30s for $100. G with cracked stocks they said. Well, I got some nice rifles, three had slings, all were cracked, 2 in the handguard (easy fix) and two elsewhere, again, both were easy fixes.

I now have three $25 91/30s that are clean, good shooters. I traded one at the gunshow yesterday for 8 AK-74 mags, so lets see. Best price I could find on 74 mags were $7 each used. I got new ones, eight of them, for a $25 gun and some labor! I think I made out like a bandit.

Then, I bought 5 91/30 Ufixems, here's the report I posted elsewhere...

Well, Friday came and so did my big box of 5 Mosin Nagant 91/30s from Century. I was hoping for at least 3 good guns out of 5, and so I got it. Here's the rundown:

1939 Tula, stock missing the entire butt end (this was the worst of them, had to get it out of the way). Nice bore though, about 60% blue. Parts aplenty for my other 91/30s that need 'em.

1942 Izhevsk - Good shape, missing only a barrel band retainer and a screw, stock has a big yellow painted "C" on each side of the buttstcok. 75% blue, bore is still full of cosmo so I haven't looked yet.

1940 Tula, chunk cracked off the buttstock, could be fixed but I'll probably swap it with another. This is a parts gun too or a seel-off the pieces gun. Its in 80% shape as far as blue and bore. Nice rifle, ugly wood.

1925 Izhevsk - Hex receiver transition rifle with 1925 tang date, stock in pretty decent shape and will clean up quite well, almost no blue left but nice bore. Missing a couple of screws and a handguard (I'll take one off the previous one), no front sight (only three of the five have front sights). Worth 19.95? Yes.

And the jewel of the bunch- a 1942 Tula in 95% blue and shiny new looking bore, best wood I've seen on a 91/30 with no, yes I said NO dings or scratches!. Missing parts? Yes, it has not front sight and no barrel band retainer, and its missing a stock end cap. Man, this gun is pretty!

So, I am happy, I got one piece of certifiable junk (thanks to ordering 5 of them), three shooters that need a few parts, and one superb and extremely beautiful rifle that need minimal attention. Considering I can use the junker for parts, and perhaps on of the others for parts, I get two good shooters/traders, a very nice shooter, and lots of parts to trade. Sound good? I rolled the dice as they say, I figure I will come out ahead...

That' my latest good deal!

If one of the C&R guys on this board would find a deal, it spread like wildfire thru our little group here. Now that we have our own forum it will be much easier for us all to get the great "one day specials"!

[8dDUCE]

Thanks, I thought that was a secret sect, or hidden brotherhood. I always miss out on the cool stuff, but now that the C&R forum, came along hopefully that will change. 8dDUCE.

Yeah, I found out about the Mosin Nagant M44 in the wrappers coming in from a fellow board memeber. Called up AIM and got one. They were gone in no time.

The 4-fer 91/30s were the same deal- heard from a fellow collector on another board and picked up the phone...
