1939 Izhevsk M91/30 Mosin Nagant
Posted: Tue Apr 10, 2018 6:54 pm
1939 Izhevsk Arsenal produced M91/30, has undergone an arsenal refurbishment at the 1st GRAU Arsenal at Balakeya, Ukraine and sports a pre-war Tula stock with the Tula star on the butt and and screw retained sling escutcheons.The stock has period spliced repairs on both sides of the fore-end, which were quite common when arsenal refurb'd.
Matching serial numbers on the barrel shank, magazine floor plate and the steel buttplate but bolt serial number is different and probably changed during a refurb.Overall the metalwork is in very nice condition for the age and the stock has a nice patina and retains most of it's original shellac finish.
The chamber is good for its age and although the rifling is a bit frosty it is still perfectly shootable.The rifling at the muzzle is admittedly quite worn but whilst it is not the best grouping paper-puncher it will easily still drop Fig11s at 4-500m with milsurp 54r and will dispatch clay pigeons placed in a backstop at 100m with ease.It is an honest Mosin that hasn't been messed about with and will still provide years of service as well as being a piece of history.
Looking for £370, face-to-face (on production of a valid FAC with the relevant slot, 7.62x54r) or transfer to an RFD at cost to the buyer (which is £30 from my RFD)
Don't know why the top pic keeps coming out on it's side!.....if anyone wants more photos or photos of a specific part etc give me a shout
