Well it looks rough to me but then beauty is in the eye of the beholder..

I don't know, but it looks pretty sweet.. I look forward to seeing what others say about it. Did you win the bid? I would have taken it for that price.

It is well worth 83 bucks.

[jimpierce7]

my take is that it is sold...........

[racerguy00]

I like ones that look like that. Great price.

[ffeng31]

Nice early import. I'd have bought it. Congrats.

I wonder how I missed that one. Must be getting old.

I would be wary of it because of bad fotos. It would be worth a try at 83 bucks however. The stock has clearly been refurbed but who is to say the rifle was cause there is no shank shot.

It had additional photos in the comments. 1939 Tula. Kind of rough but been there done that look.

I missed that then

[Gsragtop]

Well bought I would say.. Wonder what happened to the bluing?? I mean it's all gone, how does that happen??

[bocephus]

I am not the winning bidder, I passed on it since I wasn't sure what the deal with it is. I do see a refurb stamp on the butt stock.

Well look at it this way, $83 for the rifle which is rough as a cob, $30 for shipping, a unknown amount for transfer fees say $25, and maybe the 9% for taxes in CA. Add that up and you are paying well maybe $150 for a parts rifle in rough shape. I would not have trouble walking away from that at all. To each their own I guess. Bill

I was watching that one but couldn't bring myself to bid on it. I might have been more interested if it had a correct stock.

That's one of the Romanian hoard 91/30's we saw come in back in the 90's, they all had that look. I bought a pile of them, they didn't have the cleaning rods, and from the dirt impacted in the rod channel they had been in the field like that for a long time. No shellac is the common look, silver bluing also. Mine are almost all good shooters, they tend to have well worked in actions, they shoot straight without bayonets mounted, overall as close as you will get to a issued Mosin as they were in 1945 before the refurb without buying a Finn.

The rifle has been refurbed, it has the extra pin in the rear sight base.

Very nearly all of the Romanian rifles were Soviet aid post refurb. An example of refurbs going back into the field rather than a cave in Ukraine. Most of mine have at least the metal refurb stamp like this 1942 Izhevsk
