I almost posted this in the Beutewaffen section, but I just can't quite make that jump, although tons of these were used by the Germans. I've wanted an all matching, original condition 91/30 for a long time and they just aren't available in any quantity as most stayed in Russian and were refurbed to one degree or another. I picked this one up as my lone example, and I'm pretty pleased with it. If we could find 98k's imported in this condition we wouldn't know what to do! This one has a tiny import mark at the end of the barrel, and I mean tiny and very hard to read- I think its a CAI import from the early 2000's? Anyway, no extra markings applied by the importers! This rifle is original finish, original matching numbers, and even has the original matching bayonet with it. I've seen the refurb bayos and they are ground, this one looks straight up. Best I can figure is a few crates of unissued 1943 Mosin 91/30 rifles came in with all the imports. I'm not 100% up to speed on what type of stock finish these were originally manufactured with, but this one looks like it hasn't been refinished to me, although that is comparing it to refurb rifles. Anyway, though some might like to see a really clean 91/30, it seems like a solid rifle with a mint bore!
