Comments
is it a pretty good mosin rifle.....thanks
Hard to say? The rifle is 86 years old, and might have been used in 3 wars and a dozen battles? Up until recently M-N's were brought in by the container load, as combloc surplus from Eastern Europe. Most were arsenal refinished. Being a pre 91/30 from Izhevsk arsenal, might increase it's collectors value though?
Those are the markings for a Model 91 Dragoon Rifle. The square under the hammer and sickle is for a refurb/refit, probably done in the early 30's where it was possibly made into a Model 91/30. Need pics of the whole rifle to tell. Is it in a solid wood stock, or laminate?
laminate
thanks
$250 for a Hex receiver ex-Dragoon in that shape with accessories is a good price. If this is your first one, it won't be the last.[;)]
