Mosin Nagant M91/38

[kingsizetm]

Hey guys. I found a nice 1907 Izevesk M91/38. Any idea on a value? I've never seen one before but I've led a sheltered milsurp life. I would post pics but I'm on my phone today. Seems in decent shape few wood dings expected on a 105 year old rifle. Still packed in cosmo. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Westrifle is selling them for $150.00, up from the $99 special they ran back in the spring.

The bore is key - everything else is bodgeable...

Depending on bore condition, I would give $200 no sweat.

Are you sure about that 1907 91/38?
No such thing.
Would it be a 1907 M91? It should be worth at least a couple of hundred and up.

"Are you sure about that 1907 91/38?"

Could be one of the czech conversions, not common in Canada.

There is a difference between a m-38 & a 91/38. 91/38 are made from cut down m91.

x2, pics would help.

If it is a Czech conversion, aren't they termed "M 91.59" ?

Different model, made from cut down 91/30.

Ah, thanks for the clarification .

An 1891 with the long bbl-or is she a short carbine?

 

[desporterizer]

M91 cut down to carbine length with carbine sights.

Hmm,.a true Czech M91/38...have not seen one here..

Yup short carbine 40 inch. Has the 3/4inch wide front sight base not the 1/2 inch like the 91/59.
As soon as I can pics will b up

I have a 91/38 and a 91/59. Your 91/38 is only the third I've heard of in Canada.

well then I guess I can stop feeling guilty for impulse buying sight unseen. It was listed for sale as a Mosin Nagant 1907 carbine which
I thought that itcouldnt possibly be either.after I was educated on the rarity of those. I thought that it would be a 91/59 but once it arrived it didn't match the ones I seen on the interweb

 

[SA85M1]

Oh well,..a 91/38 is still a neat find really..

 

[jbmauser]

I'm looking forward to seeing some pics. Sounds like a good find.

 

[fiddler]

Good find. A few dings and scratches on the outside are no indication of how well it will shoot. I always slug the barrel and take some measurements before i go to the range to give my an idea of what to expect. Even a loose barrel can shoot well if you go up in bullet diameter by a size or two. The biggest problem to bad groups with milsurps is the crown, in my opinion.
