I bought mine when they were $89.00 in the 80's. I see where CG&P has the 91/30s in stock for $229.95

$300! PLUS TAX!! Wow.
Does that mean I can sell my hex receiver for $350 and my PU mosin for a $1000 yet?
I'm kidding.

I almost took my psl-54 to sell when they USED to have one on sale for $3500
I really want to meet who runs their gun room

It seems like Mosin rifles were about $69-$119 for the last 20 years, from maybe 1992-2013.
I never wanted one, although I thought about buying 5 of them at a time to put away for the zombie apocalypse so that I could distribute them to friends and family or sell them to my neighbors when they realize they need a gun and don't own one.
I didn't buy any of those Czech or Turkish 8mm Mauser rifles that flooded the market around 2000, selling for the same price range. Guns as low as $60 and ammo for 5 cents a shot (corrosive, 70 years old, but still working reliably).
At least I did pick up a few of the Nornico SKS's and MAK-90s when they were cheap. I didn't act fast enough to get a $69 SKS, but I bought two when they were $99.
Mak-90s were $199 at Hot Shots (now Wild West Traders) back 20 years ago.
When my dad was actively involved in guns and shooting in the 1950s, you could buy pretty much any bolt-action military surplus rifle for $20. That's why so many 1903 and '03-A3 Springfields were sporterized into scoped deer rifles. And why some of those 7.7 Jap Arisaka rifles were rechambered for more popular rounds. The guns were so cheap, you could put some money into modding them and still come out good on the value for your dollar.
