Picked this up from a CGN member in Winnipeg. Nice meeting you Mark and thx for a great transaction.
Took it all apart, took some pics, cleaned it up, oiled it, check the firing pin protrusion... and now she's good to go !!
FYI - A Dragoon is a version of the M91 that is the same length as an M91/30, but has the M91 type sights and a unique handguard. This model was phased out in the early 1930s and replaced by the M91/30. An updated Dragoon has the sights and hand guard replaced with the M91/30 types. It is basically an M91/30 in that configuration, but because it is dated pre-1930 it is often referred to as an ex-Dragoon or updated Dragoon by US collectors. While certainly not as rare as a Dragoon in original configuration they are less common than post 1930 M91/30s and sought after by many collectors.
And now... the pics.
Weird shim ??
Both types of Izhevsk markings on the tang.
Usual bizarre markings
"00" is an accuracy proof and "Circle K" is a point of aim proof.
What with the 2 ??
