OTOH, they DO have a 1930 hex izzy 91/30 with all stamped matching #'s for $119. Decent bore and great finish all around. What do you think about that one for the price?? Thanks, GNG

This one's not for sale price ($119) yet but looks real nice: stamped matching numbers, good bore, nice wood and metal finish.

Is this a rare find with such an old receiver? It's at a local Dunham's right now for $250, but she should come down in price in the next week or so. Thanks, Scott

Just picked up my first MN rifle today. Thought I'd share some pics. I have yet to learn what all the markings mean... but I'm working on it!

My two Mosin Nagants. The Finnish M-39 is a SAKO as issued in 1943, while my 91/59 was originally a 1943 Izzy.

I decided against buying the M91/59 for a few reasons. The first being that the rifle, while nice in almost every respect for its vintage ('43 Izzy) had some pretty rough grind marks alongside the receiver adjacent to the bolt body which had been blued-over. The second is that I guess I really wanted another Tula with a beech stock that I could keep completely original. I already have a beech Tula that is pretty much cherry with the exception of some slight frosting in the barrel....

I don't know, but I would buy it and bring it home then you can ask all the questions you desire. But first make sure it is in your ownership. Hate to see you get all worked up about it and then go to the store and only find that you put off too long and someone else is now the lucky owner of a fine piece of history.

Sorry no pic's but the stock on the rifle I'm interested in does not have an M44 bayonet groove along the front right side of the stock. All the #'s on the receiver/buttplate/mag/bolt are stamped and matching, and the finish on the metal and the stock looks great. The stock does not appear to be a refinish/rearsenal as there is no evidence of refurb marks on the stock or any evidence of being rebuilt at the butt. Izzy 1943 receiver. Crown is new and the rifling looks great...
