It's hard to say without seeing the markings on the receiver.
50-500 depending on exactly what you have, condition, etc..
This all depends on the who makes the rifle. A WWIIGUNS, Mosin-nagant, made in japan can cost as much as $1400. It is made of wood and metal. If you have one, state the manufacture and what condition it is in to try to asses the value.
Depending on the exact model and the condition, around $200.
About 85 to 100 bucks...thats about it
Use a gun blue book for an accurate answer; however a Mosin-Nagant model 1891 in full military dress (in good shape) might average around $300.00. It's a decent rifle, just hasn't ever caught on in the US.
You will need to provide some additional information. More than 37 million Mosin-Nagant rifles were made in different models by several nations, mainly the Soviet Union, Poland and China. Value is based on exact make, model and condition- we do not know model nor condition. For 1953 manufacture, it is quite likely an M44. Those small carbines with a folding bayonet are currently selling for around $150-$200, depending on condition.
NO! Not properly. If you value your life, do not use anything but what is marked on the barrel. Namely, 7.62x54R. Josh Smith smith-sights.com
Depending on exact model and condition anywhere from $25 to $7000 There were many different models of Mosin Nagant made, some rarer than others. A rusted M91/30 is not worth much. A Finnish cavalry carbine is rare and pricey. A generic Russian 91/30 in good condition is currently selling for between $80 and $110 in the US. A HUGE number of those were released from Russian military storage, and placed on the market for sale to civilians. There are several models of Mosin-Nagant rifle, made or modified by several manufacturers. The exact value depends on specifics... manufacturer, model, arsenal it was manufactured at, rare and distinct markings, overall condition, etc. You could be looking at anywhere from $70 to over $1000, depending on those specifics.
Good collector's rifle value $70 - $150 USD in 2012. No major damage to wood stock and most bluing on metal intact.
Do it for the experience and keep the gun. <><><><> Today (25 August 2011) I checked wholesale price on very good condition 91/30s- they are $79.95. Refinishing a collector's gun reduces the value. There is not a high colelctor's value on these to start.
if you mean the M38 carbine, they can go for about $60 on average in re-arsenaled condition (I.E., forced match numbers, counter bored barrels, dropped into M44 stocks minues the bayonet) and sometimes close to about $100, but that's about as high as the prices from them go.
This is a rifle built on the Soviet Mosin Nagant receiver. Some of these are quite rare and unique, and have high valves. Expect between $250.00 to $800.00 depending on factors.
