Awkward trade?!?

[TRC-911]

Hey gang

I've had my truck toolbox on craigslist for a month with zero bites, I paid $49 for it in January.

Anyhow, guy texted me and said he had a rifle to trade, he couldn't tell what it was....
I meet him, he has an 1898 Mosin Nagant that has Finnish stamps, matching receiver and bolt, as well as ZERO import marks!

He also threw in a fancy, heavy duty aluminum rifle case. Priced them out at over $79

And the rifle of the same vintage and stamps, sell from $225-370

I'm going to keep it, I know it's not gold or anything and it's not my first Mosin
I'm just tickled pink to have had such a cool, and crazy trade! I'm glad I didn't post "no trades" in the ad

I'm going to clean it, not tearing it down or anything though. Just enough to shoot a few rounds through it. Gonna have fun learning it's history through the stamps

Best $49 I ever spent!

I'd make that same trade in a split second. Then after all settles in, probably start worrying that it was stolen or worse! However since this is an antique, you probably ok, haha.

Lol, that's what my mom said

I definitely got the better end of the deal

I was hoping it would be a .22 or something
But this took the cake!

Sweet score. I doubt anyone robbed a liquor store or did and drive by's with it

I love these GTA weapons upgrades!
