Rifles are cheap, ammo is cheap, and it's fun to shoot. I'm late for work, so I'll explain the diff in receivers when i get home.

You reading this, will be waaay better than me typing it out. When you're done reading it, it's a pre-requirement that you have to watch the movie "Enemy at the Gates".

Are you in OZ?
You can buy a decent Mosin here in the US for $90. For a shooter or collector, the pre 40's hex receivers are the best.
The Finns captured and rebuilt the Russian rifles into the M-39 using the hex receivers and Sako or Valmet barrels. I haven't found one yet that won't out shoot a Russian rifle.
The hex receivers often have a replaced barrel with a date stamp. The bottom side of the end of the tang will have the receiver's production date.
The M-44 (w/bayo) and M38(wo/bayo) carbines are the most fun to shoot, and the most practical to hunt with.

yes im in OZ..not the best place for the gun enthusiast. im not sure what our taxes are on imported firearms but someone's gotta make money. i would love to import my own but finding a carrier would be difficult on just 1 rife. Hey were buying 90 cents to the dollar.
