Russian Mosin

Why does the Russian Mosin Nagant rifle cost so little?

I was searching for a old rifle to buy for my collection and i came across this rifle and i was surprised at its cost, if somebodie knows please tell me

It goes by the Wal-Mart pricing theory: if you make a LOT of anything you can sell them very cheaply. There were so many of these rifles stamped out that they are super-cheap. Also, the Soviets (who made a good chunk of the Mosin Nagants out there) were very good at figuring out how to manufacture stuff without needless frills so as to bring the cost down as much as possible. There were also a bunch dumped on the market in the last 20 years. The Soviets weren’t about to sell Americans arms during the arms race, and after the Soviet Union collapsed there were a ton of Mosin Nagants sold to America. This throws the supply and demand off kilter and makes them really cheap. They are great rifles, and dirt cheap too. I saw one at a gun show once for $55 (and that was last year).
