M91/30 ex-sniper find

zino · 04-23-2008, 08:10 PM

Today I was browsing a local Dunhams, found a laminated 44' Izzy Ex- sniper M91/30. I put it on layaway, price was $149. The rifle is in excellent cond.
stock is beautiful and 100% blue. Matching numbers, no strike outs or electro-pencil. Bore looks good as far as I can tell, till I clean it.
Is this a good price? What are they worth. How common are they.

I would pay that much for one.

fair buy and seem to be a lot of them comming on the market here lately !! That being said there fairly hard to find so 149, isnt bad depending on where you live

I would say that is a good buy and find depending on condition. I find that Duhnam's rifles vary widely in bore and overall condition but their prices remain the same. I think for a buck fifty that is a good find if the bore is decent.

^+1! Good deal. Hope she's a pretty one!

Well the ex-sniper that I have on layaway at Dunhams just went on sale today. They have laminated 91/30's marked down to $129 this week. Looks like I will be picking it up in the next couple of days. This will be the second laminated ex-sniper I have bought there at $129. It is getting expensive for me to browse at at that place.

Heck of a deal for $129. Been looking for earlier ex-snipers from '38 --'42. Know one dealer who has a '42 ex and he will not sell it no matter the price I've thrown at him and its cherry but......he still will not sell.

SwedeSteve · 05-11-2008, 11:54 PM

Have you bought it yet?

zino · 05-12-2008, 06:51 PM

I will be picking it up on Wed. or Thurs. The laminated stock on it is beautiful, brand new looking. My other ex sniper is a 43 Tula. I will try to post pics of both this weekend.
