I have a chance to buy a Nagant 1895 pistol for $100 cash locally. I've seen the prices on the internet and such, sounds like a decent enough deal. What do you guys think?

too much. you can get them for 80$ all over the place.

I've seen them for around $80 on the internet but by the time I pay shipping and my ffl (no C&R yet) I'd be around $100. I'm trying to justify it.....just need some pushing one way or the other. Haven't looked in the gun shops around here.

 

[cobraman]

Make him an offer perhaps you can get it for 90 bucks or so.

 

[KCjeff]

He was wanting $125 which I knew was too much.

Che ck out these links, it's best when buying milsurp to be as well educated as you can be before you purchase. With no license and it being local I would say if the pistol is in great shape, timing on it is good, numbers match and includes the holster and screwdriver then it should be a decent price.

At the local FLEECE MARKET yesterday there was one for the mere sum of $190. I started to say somehting but decided it would be a waste of time so I just walked away. It was still on her table much later in the afternoon, but that is no suprise.

It's gone now....I must move on to bigger and better things.

I'd still look for one, (Where else are you gonna find a Military Surplus revolver for less than $200) ya' know, in our current political enviroment.

 

[KCjeff]

Oh ya, I'll keep my eye out for a good deal.

I gave $100 for mine. Shipping is usually $20 or so, and transfer fees run around $40 here so I can't do much better than that.

Same price I paid for mine 2 years ago! I cant even find water or toilet paper for the same price now, as 2 years ago.

Well if my C&R app would ever show up I'd jump on that deal......kind of waiting to save on the ffl transfer fees. That's why I was excited to find one locally. Have you had a chance to shoot yours much Vanguard? Just wandering how you like it.

 

[ozzman1978]

I own two, and they are great shooters, the Wife loves it...the only two downsides is that ammo can be expensive (well, not anymore since EVERYTHING is expensive) and they take a while to reload. Other than that, I highly recommend it; if you can find a local one in the $100 area, it is a good deal, I can buy one for $70-80 but you still have to tack on expedited shipping, which usually puts it pretty close to $100 anyways.
