New M91/30 !

Just picked up my new toy. A M91/30 from SOG. Rifle seems to be in great shape, it is a 1941 with matching numbers stamped on the barrel, bolt, and mag floorplate. Pic's to follow as soon as I find a way to explain a new gun in the house. I hate that I have been bitten by the C&R bug, but not as much as the wife does. The dog was getting fat anyway, it can eat less.

C-Ya, Bobby J.

Put a lamp shade on it and tell your wife that you needed more light.

tell her what they were going for at the gun show and then tell her how much you saved because of the C&R

Here's a new one to me: I'm not a huge Mosin buff, but every time you turn around you see the 91/30's, M-44's, and M-38's in SGN. I saw this 91/59 on gunbroker, and was curious what the deal is??? I saw somewhere (maybe it was even on this auction) that the 59's were just 91/30's that were cut down to shorter carbine lengths in 1959.

OK, they already had made the M-38's, and then added a bayonet and a few other "minor" alterations and called it a M-44......so what gives with the 91/59? Did they just really like the 38's and 44's so much that they decided to get rid of a bunch of surplussed 91/30's and cut them down to make more 38 type rifles?

volfandan,

Maybe this will clear up the differences, it can be a little confusing but I think if you read this it will become easier to understand.

Anj: Thank you ... no offense meant or taken

Volfandan: I just read on Gunboards, The Collectors Forum that some were saying a M91/59 was worth over $250. Now all you need is one willing buyer to get any price for anything but, maybe you might want to check out the post and compare to what you may have in this one if you bought it or maybe you might consider buying if the price is right.
