He won't go to your FFL for some reasonAlong the same lines, if a guy robs me with an M38, I will simply off to buy the gun off of him.
All the Mausers are gone now and this is what has happened.While I appreciate the historical significance of the Mosin in WWll, I HATE these guns and wouldn't take one for free. They are not fun to shoot, they are not smooth, cool, comfortable, or worthy of bragging. They are the Hi-point of rifles. I don't understand the fascination wit the rifles, but I'm glad we can all make fun of them and those who own them, good naturedly of course.

Affordable? They are just about the most affordable rifle out there. They can routinely be bought for $250-400, cheaper than most modern rifles. Perhaps it's a socio-economic thing.In your not-so-humble opinion.
Plenty of us who have multiples of them feel otherwise. You just have to appreciate them for what they are, not for what you think they should be. If you're trying to compare them to a slick, modern hunting rifle, or even a Garand, you will be disappointed.
What they are is a sturdy, simple, reliable, accurate (enough) old battle rifle that served many millions of soldiers very well for the better part of a century. So go ahead and hate all you want. I kind of wish more people felt like you do, so demand and prices would decrease back to a more affordable level, but that's just selfish of me.
Other than the reasons above do you like Mosins?While I appreciate the historical significance of the Mosin in WWll, I HATE these guns and wouldn't take one for free.

Actually the soldiers outnumbered the gun production. That is the history behind that.Keep in mind the Russian officers were sending two soldiers into battle with every one Mosin. The rifles had more value than the soldiers carrying them...
