Re: newby 1933 91/30 Izhevsk

Yes, I did! Also, all / most M44s are Molot and imported by PW Arms. They are no longer re-refurbished, just cleaned up and lightly oiled. Barrels always cleaned out and shiny. Recently a big batch of 9130s emerged in the market imported by CAI, including excellent condition 40s and 41s. Just saw an...

Re: What's With 91/30 Prices?

All the Chain Stores like BIG 5 etc are going to do something for Black Friday, as usual, depending on their inventory and/or event planning. Same would apply to the Internet Guys, I assume. Found and bought a 1944 M44 lately for $179 in a good to VG condition, VG barrel usage nicks in the wood. But...

Re: I finally got one but is it real or fake?

Thanks , Jim, for adding that. To my opinion that rifle could be compared to a US Garand reworked here by WINREM and offered as a historic based "Hunting Rifle"! It would still be a "Garand based" rifle, but no object for Garand collectors. If they not choose to add a new Collect...
