I decided to purchase a MN 91/30 yesterday.
Out the door it was $265.XX after all taxes et al.
It has a few minor scratches but otherwise the furniture is in good-great condition. All the numbers match, even on the included bayonet. It has a round receiver and is in good, working, firing order.
Did I overpay?
I paid $350 the other day for a 91/30 hex receiver in good condition with ammo pouch, bayonet, sling and an oil canister. All matching serials as well.
I think you did pretty good, all things considered.

Mine also included the ammo pouch w/ canteen and ~90% de-cosmoline'd
I just wanted to make sure because I had some friends tell me it wasn't worth the cash.

Yep. I payed about $360 for this at a gun show a few weeks ago.
I was actually looking for a barber shoppe, and on google maps it was a barber shoppe, but when I pulled up it happened to have a gun shop in the back and they happened to have what I was looking for.
The car dealership across the street was also a gun shoppe too but it was closed that day.

I paid 120 dollars for mine years ago, how has it gone up so much?

A few years back the import laws changed or something and the prices went up as the supply went down.

>paid $270 for a nice Finn M39 in February

$250 is about market average. Along with matching #'s and bayo, you did good.
>>30368587
