Do you have a C&R License?

FFL Dealer/03 Collector License Required.

Dude, you need to find a gun forum for NJ. I hear that the laws there are very strict, and you need to be careful that you don't make a mistake and end up in jail for years. Indiana gun laws are really liberal, so the advice you get here may not be legally feasible in your home state. I periodically gloat to New York gun owners about the sort of toys we can have over here, while they grit their teeth about the eight-round rule...

They are sold out anyway......you 'should' be able to get one for around $125+ and yes, even in NJ but double check the laws there.

1. Market value for a 91/30 in decent condition (without a bayonet) is greater than $100, so it is a reasonable investment. Not a steal, but they aren't likely to get any cheaper in the future, much like the force-matched combloc rework Luger I could kick myself in the tail for trading in a huff when I learned that the apparently matching numbers didn't which has appreciated between 50% and 100% since I did so.

2. As a prepper gun, a Mosin isn't a good candidate for single-handedly clearing of a field full of hostiles, but it hits hard and goes bang every time. You will have a better chance of tearing up/wearing out an anvil. In the end, an old turnbolt beats the hell out of a sharp stick or a fist.

Not to mention, it will easily subdue any living thing on the North American continent.

That and a lot of non-living things (cars, trucks, tractors).

Inexpensive rifle, cheap to shoot - why not buy it is the question? $100 is a good price. My take nowadays is buy what you want - like it, need it, planning ahead... doesn't matter.

I would not use a mosin as my SHTF go to gun but it makes a great backup and as mentioned it will drop anything. Ammo is reasonable and plentiful. But the 100 dollar days are over! If you get one make sure you cleen is well after shooting old milsurp ammo.
