Mosins can be fine rifles. Like any "cheap" gun, sometimes you'll get a lemon but then again, they're not expensive and pretty easy to find, so you can't really mess up too much unless you live somewhere you can't shoot it much or there are many houses nearby, since it is powerful. If he's familiar with guns you may want to hold onto it for fun shooting. From what I recall, shotguns with the right shells are a safer choice for home defense, though.
