Refurbed russian 91/30's are $140 at SIR, but you can find them on consignment for less than $100 at alot of gunshops. That's a Finnish capture (SA stamp on it) 91/30 missing the rear sling swivle (should be the same as the front), they don't really command any premium.
If it's all matching with a mint bore and no import stamps, you might get $150 for it here on the board, that's on the high end though.......
 
Nice find, its actually an Izhevsk mfg, Tula would have a large star with arrow through it where the hammer and sickle are on this one...Much more fun to have then a refurbed import marked Russian piece! Interesting that it has a dog collar instead of a swivel on the rear...
 
Yup, a Finn capture M91/30, Ishevsk made. Lot of history in that rifle. Finn captures are much harder to find than a recent import 91/30, and more desireable from both a collecting and shooting category. Nice CCCP roundel on the stock too! 8)
 
Keep it and enjoy it! If you reload, you'll soon find out they can be the sleeper on a firing line until everyone go to retrieve the targets... :D
Now, a Finn capture round receivered M-91-30 is always interesting. Any sign of Finn accurization work under the receiver? Look for small brass shims.
PP. :)

Will have to check when I disassemble it.
It's accurate and has a good kick to it! :D

Try an M-44 on for kicks with hungarian heavy ball... better: try it at dusk!
I won't suggest you to fire it prone and lying in very dry grass... :wink:

Safe??? No, you need to forget the safe and build a "re-inforced room" that is "not readily broken into" :mrgreen:

I agree!! However I already take up so much space with my *ahem* hobbies that I would risk getting whipped with the butt of one of my own rifles. :lol:

Besides the argument is always "Why do you need more than one anyway?" And trying to explain it is easy....for me....

So anyhow....I sure do like those Mosins....although I don't think I would own an M44, I may get an M38 one day.
 
Sorry for the Hijack but could someone tell me how to track down SIRs deals on the 91/30s. I've been all over their website and can't find anything, or are the milsurps not listed on the website and a phone call will answer all my questions? What other milsurp deals do they have?
Thanks
Ed
