Trying to figure out how I can suppress mine. Can you just imagine a suppressed Mosin? A huge recoil and fireball, and just a "PFFFFT!" That would rock out with my socks out!
I'm not sure what makes that one a $250 Mosin. It's not Finnish or anything. Last time I was there, they had two of them. One was a clean 91/30 for $99 and then there was the $250 one which looked to be about the same. The only difference is that the $250 one had "C&R No paperwork needed" on its tag. I ended up buying the $99 Mosin and it turned out to be an ex-sniper that shoots very well.
The Outdoorsman has not struck me as a shop that tries to rape you for every last penny. When they had 7.62x39 in, it was selling much cheaper than at Bradis. They were selling it for $30 per 100 rounds (non corrosive) where as I've been paying Bradis something like $40 per 100.
I'm guessing the Mosin is on consignment or something and the guy who owns it thinks it's worth more than it is.
