I have one I'm thinking on selling. Arsenal refurbed. I cleaned the bore ( dark with good shiny lands) but haven't shot the gun. Rated a 7 on the collectability scale of 10 at: www7.62x54r.net just wondering what it might be worth$$$.

200-250.00 in my opinion
1943s are pretty uncommon only 50,000 made and sought after, I would take no less than 350 and even that maybe a bit soft. never know what will happen when a couple collectors what it.
unless you got them like me when they first showed up at 125-150
I would say 350 firm. I just bought an M44 nice guns.
I got rid of a 91 model 1943 Izhesk not long ago. Dont know about the collectibility, it was a clunker. Terrible tooling marks, and key holed bullets at 20ft.
I havent been seeing much in way of mosins available anymore, so prices should start to climb like it did with mausers.
John Miller,
That's my understanding also- 50,000 in total that were used as trail guns. 1943 was the first and lowest production year. Hence a 7 on a scale of ten.

if I had the coin I would offer, but I am holding out for an M39 and would need to sweet talk the wife
Remiel,
For even money I'd take an M-39 over a M-44. Even a nice Finn M-91 will easily outshoot the Russian carbines. Full disclosure- I paid 3 bills for this M-44
I only have room in the cabinet for 2 more and the wife wants me to unload my old truck for a newer one, that and my mauser and mosin projects are unfinished at the moment. Now that I think about it I should just get the compound bow she wants just to be safe....Originally Posted by JeffHolt

That look on your face, when you shift into 6th gear, but it's not there.
Wife only does whiskey and vodka, beer and wine make her sick at the first swig, trust me i have tried.Ply her with these:
Sweet-talking the wife is almost never a bad idea.
does not always work and can get very expensive quick(she is a hunter and shooter too)
