Anyone have one? Probably make a good SHTF weapon considering they're so cheap. Have thought about getting one.

Just about any modern rifle would be a better SHTF rifle than a Nagant

I've thought about it. If I ever have a hundred bucks burning a hole in my pocket when I see some for sale I'll probably get one just cause.

They're fun, but the recoil is so bad it takes 2 minutes off your life every time you fire it.

I'd like to have one just to have it. I love WW2 weapons. My brother hunts with one, well he switches out with all of his war guns.

J&G has the Chinese version of the M44 or carbine version for $129. 91/30 makes a tremendously accurate rifle, especially for a 100 year old firearm. That said, get a huge butt pad because that metal one feels like getting hit in the shoulder with a 5lbs sledge.

pawn shop here in shreveport has one for $169.99. It looks like it might have actually been used in WWII.

IMO any Russian combat weapon is great for a SHTF gun. Russian stuff is always very robust and durable and ammo tends to be cheap.
Wish I had one just to frick off with. Another gun is always a good thing. A $100 gun is fantastic.
