stopped by Surplus Arms and Ammo in Tacoma Wa yesterday.
as they told me, "they know a guy"
they have a Mosin crate with 6 Mosins as a display, they refill the case every Monday and sell at least 6 Mosins a week. They let me see the original packing slip and these are '42 - '44 Mosin 91-30, all with war time stocks and bayonets, not armory rebuilds. It seems an importer in Redmond, Wa received the last major shipment of Mosins from the Ukraine and has a warehouse full of them still.
according to the document, these Mosins were cleaned, test fired and repacked back in '97.
and the Mosin Crate is sitting on stacks of wooden crates full of Russian spam cans, 880 rds per crate
SAA doesn't advertise these on their web site, they are in their retail store in Tacoma. They just set up this display in the last 3 weeks
