Thought I would share my first surplus purchase I got a few days ago and it has all matching numbers too.

Another gun I'd wish I would have bought more than one of when they were $150 or less. You got your hands on a really nice example there
 
That all depends on the fit of the bayo and the shooting position at the time.

A relatively loose fitting bayonet can create all sorts of accuracy conditions, which aren't all that important under 50 meters but more than that??????

Shooting from a rested or prone position with a bayonet attached properly will usually result in higher strung out vertical groups that again, at short range don't make much difference as any hit on an aggressor under stressful conditions is a good hit.

It's the offhand position where the groups will be low and vertical for a good shooter and for the average shooter there will be both vertical and horizontal dispersion.

I've seen people shoot basketball size groups with bayos attached at 50 meters in the off hand position and fist size groups without the bayo.

Learning to shoot a rifle with the bayo attached is a whole new skill set for a troopie.
 
Congrats, you got a nice one. I really like the looks of the 1942/43 ones with the machining marks. A slight adjustment to the front sight will compensate for shooting without the bayonet. I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

I appreciate it and I will look into the adjustment for the sight as well.
 
That works surprisingly well, I tuned my regular M91/30 to Chinese surplus ammo and it shoots 2-3" 5-shot groups at 100m. It takes a bit of fiddling with front shims location at the range but works very good.

That's pretty good with that ammo and those very crude but effective sights.

Mosins fit most people surprisingly well and recoil is tolerable.
