Yes, I got a Mosin - I made a thread over a month ago talking about it.
Still kicks like a mule, but it's oh-so-much fun.
BTW, with SKS prices, $350 is a good price, especially for one that takes AK mags. I blame Obama.
Gotta hand it to him, he was a spectacular gun salesman.
Got a couple SKSs, plastic stoke chinaman Norinco, and a traditional wooden stock Yugo. The AK mag is a modification, the ones I have seen are made by Tapcon or Tapco, as told to me they don't work very well. No experience first hand. I load my SKS by hand, internal magazine.
Cabela's had SKSs on sale 2 weeks ago for $275, regular internal magazine, cleaning kit +bayonet. Saw a SKS a couple weeks ago for sale by the owner of a hardware store, just so happens to be where I bought my chickens. He claimed it to be an "unissued" Yugoslave SKS and had a tag on it for $475. It looked real nice, but no way $475 nice.
What ammunition did you end up getting for your Mosin Nagant?
I've just been shooting military surplus and cleaning it real good, though I did get a gift of 40 rounds of (reloadable!) Prvi Partizan FMJ ammo.
