Well Christmas came early this year.

For under $150 I picked up 2x rifles last night:

1. 1943 Izzy 91/30 non-refurb Bolt MM
2. M/52 '02' 91/30 MM parts

The interesting thing with the first rifle, is that the 1943 izzy isn't marked with an SA, neither is it a 1950's refurb rifle. Most non-refurb 91/30's I have seen are SA marked. I've seen M44's that are non-refurb (post war) or WWII versions that came out of Africa somewhere, but never a long rifle.

The second rifle strikes my interest. According to http://www.russian-mosin-nagant.com/sniper_9130/index.html the standard '02' rifles are even rarer than the sniper variant (which I do have one in my collection).

Does anyone have more info?

These rifles are NOT FOR SALE - too interesting and I will need to keep them for myself. I will try to get pics soon.

Regards
 
The Non-sniper Hungarian 91/30 are fairly rare but Canada seems to have received more than its fair share cause its the 5th I have heard about in the last three years. Many Finn use rifle are not SA marked. How do you know it hasn't been refurbed?
 
I have both the sniper rifle and standard 91/30...it would seem that the sniper rifles are a bit more common here...but I don't think that it speaks accurately of the production total of either rifle..As mosins go, they are not around in quantity..
 
Congrats Kyle!
91/30 still might be Finnish late capture as it turned out significant amount of SA stamps were applied after the war, and there are lot of rifles out there without SA but bear other traces of Finnish origin.
M/52 is not common beast, but there were 2 times I spotted them this year. One was MM and I passed. Correction: I spotted two snipers, not regular rifles.
 
It took awhile but here is the Hungarian Mosin I was talking about that cost me a $100. The bolt and trigger guard/magazine are MM but are factory '02' and are matched to themselves and also have the same "DI" letter preffix.

Some interesting markings on the stock - some say Egyptian and original "02" cartouches - thoughts???





 
Paint on the stock is Arabic numbers, hard to say if they are Egyptian, Syrian or other... AFAIK all Arabic numbers are the same until you get into Iraq, and then the Persian/Urdu numbers are slightly different. They don't use the backwards 3 for a 4, so the bottom one certainly isn't Persian...

Probably rack numbers for the rifles. Yellow one is 172 and the black looks like a 43. Looks like some other writing on the bottom of the stock, but I only learned numbers on my travels... Made it harder for shop-keepers to screw me!!
