Re: Unconventional Soviet M91/30 PEM Sniper
I suspect, since an original Mosin Nagant M91/30 built in PEM Sniper configuration is almost unheard of, that most all of them are unconventional. The ones which can be found are either decommissioned or rebuilt, mismatched and re-snipered with a mix of arsenal and/or aftermarket parts. Of the many ...

Unconventional Soviet M91/30 PEM Sniper
First... ... my apologies for not posting for a couple of months. I've been in the process of selling my business, and needed to cut back on the internet time for a while. If all goes well next week, the lion's share of the sale project is complete, and I'll be signing on the dotted line. I should b...

Re: M91/49 & M19/38
Much easier to search information with the correct model designations, huh? Good job going with your gut. Both were priced very fairly.
A standard M91/30 canvas sling with leather dog collars will fill the sling need. There are shorter carbine slings, but are very hard to identify at a glance.

Re: 1933 Ishevsk with straight blade front sight?
The front sight with the elevation block and cut-down M91 stock were probably correct as a Finn Training Rifle. A somewhat scarce item.

Re: M91 lock ring bayonet
I haven't seen any specific letters which would denote a Russian arsenal. If it was Sestroryetsk, it would have the arrow.

Re: M91 lock ring bayonet
It does appear to be a 60 deg variant, which would narrow its production to the 1905-1910 era. So it would have to be a Tula, Izhevsk or Sestroryetsk.
There is a pretty large area where it looks like it has been scrubbed with a coarse file, possibly eliminating the maker's stamp.

$570 is up in the stratosphere.

Re: 1895 Winchester Russian Contract With Bayo... ALL Matchi
I doubt that the reserve price will matter when the auction is completed. There will be PLENTY of other bids when all is said and done, and since the reserve is already met, all of those upcoming bids will allow the the gun to seek its own natural market value. It could have started at $0.01 with no...

Re: 1895 Winchester Russian Contract With Bayo... ALL Matchi
Tough time of the year to get top dollar for an auction of a common rifle.
But this one should end up in a league of its own. Likely to the person who wins, money will be no object. Best of luck.
