I have a 1942 M91/30 Ishevsk that I have modified the crap out of. It has a Chinese military AK47 scope mount that I modified to fit. Monte Carlo stock, spring loaded bi pod, 3-9x40 Burris scope, modified short pull trigger, 4in sniper bolt handle. Barrel slugged out to .314in and is nice and shiny. All the modifications were done by me.
I also have a 1936 Finnish M28/30 that has a badly chopped stock from the previous owner. Very unfortunate as that rifle could have been worth around 1000$. Anyways, that has yet to be modified yet. Since it is already chopped, I might do the scope mount on that as well. That bore slugged out to .3088in - it was basically not used at all before I got it. The bore on those rifles usually measured at .3082-.3085.
Picked up a 1937 Tula PE Ex-Sniper, gunshop wanted $119, talked them down to $109, they get them by the crate, and they give me a VIP pass behind the counter to look at all the dates!!
I didn't see any screws welded until someone told me to look at the receiver and not inside where the bolt goes, yup, found the welds!
Anyone know what the "C" means?

Sweet! I'd love to find a Tula, but so far, no luck. If you haven't, check here as I've found it to be an excellent place for info on them. 7.62x54r.net
I bought one of these. I havent shot it yet. It had the barrel and stock cut down, the rear sight is missing and has been painted green. It has a bent(?) bolt too. It came with over 400 rounds of ammo. Not sure what I am going to do with it.
I Have A,
1926 Izhevsk Refinished Stock Ebony Black with Factory refinish Stamp and all Maching Serial numbers on the bolt,Reciver,Buttplate, Bottom Mag Plate, with Original sling and Clip pouches.
Man, I bought a Bubba'ed 91/30 for $100 bucks Last week. I f it did not come with 200 rounds of ammo I probably would not have picked it up. It's Chrome (eek) I figured I use it for plinking , no trade value in it but the stock and chrome are in excellant condition . worse comes to worse, being an Electrician... I can always make a lamp out of it. it's a 39 Izzy.
you may think it has no value but i think shes beautiful! and a decent price for the rifle ammo was just a kicker
It is in great shape, but there's no way I would of gone out of my way to get a Chrome Mosin. the stock is in beautiful condition and with all the ammo , pouches and clips and other stuff..it was still a pretty good deal.
