Mint condition doesn't necessarily mean anything. It depends upon what factory it was made in, and when.

If the receiver is octagoned rather than rounded, then it was made in the Tulia factory...that's top shelf. A Tulia rifle made during peace time is the best.

Rounded receivers can range from pretty darn good to outright rotten (especially the WW2 products...they were slapped together).

I have 3 Mosins, each from a different factory. They do not kick that much. My 10 year old fires one fine.
