OK I'm trying to get some verification on this but here is what I've heard. According to the Manager at my local Big 5 that are no longer going to carry Mosin Nagant rifles. According to this source he stated that the cost to purchase them has gone up considerably and they simply don't want to price them that high. If you guys happen to be around your local Big 5 could you see if this is just a local issue here in CA or if it's nation wide.
Thanks
Mark
