Hey so i was at a gun show and i saw a hex 91/59 that i know think was cut down from a m91. It was a antique receiver. It was in really good shape too. I kinda brushed by it not knowing what i was looking at. Price tag said $350.

On the ride home i grilled myself on not making a offer.
What do you guys think?

Sound like it was a m91/38 if it was an antique receiver/barrel. Either way that is a good price on a Hex m91/59 or a m91/38 if it was not bubbad.

Did not look refinished but the stock was lite in color

It may have been a Chatellerault 91/38.

Sestroryetsk 91/38s have been bringing crazy money, who knows with a Chatellerault. The stocks on either carbine can be light colored. Did it have a handguard? If not it could be a commercial sporter. Last thing to check is if it has a post and globe front sight. I saw a bubba m91 with an aftermarket front sight sitting in an m44 stock being sold as a 91/38 recently.

Stock color means nothing...

These rifles are starting to go well above that price you were offered. That's a good price for a "hard to come by" Mosin (not rare, just hard to find)......D

Here is my light colored M91/38:

I have yet to add an M38 or M91/59 to my collection. Still, $350 I would have a hard time letting go of, unless is was a great example.
Decisions, decisions.

The gun show also goes on sunday maybe i can talk him down. The tag only says antique mosin nagant. Clearly he does not know the full detail.

Have you not gone and gotten it yet??? 91/38's are not often seen... Make haste .... Run in , throw the $350 at him , grab the rifle and run back out !!!

Maybe been refinished :/

scribs87 · Post by **scribs87** » Sun Apr 19, 2015 8:33 am

Should i pop if its been refinished?

scribs87 · Post by **scribs87** » Sun Apr 19, 2015 8:42 am

Congrats on a sweet grab !!!

Lots of these are in m44 stocks and I'm not sure its refinished. Looks pretty good. You got a fantastic carbine!

Congratulation on a great find and a real bargain. It would likely go for 2 or 3 times what you paid for it on GunBroker.

That makes the 101st M91/38 that I have added to my database. I updated my database post here http://www.russian-mosin-nagant-forum.c ... =5&t=21814 a couple of months ago but will do it again soon.

One question. Is the bolt serial number stamped or electropencilled?

scribs87 · Post by **scribs87** » Sun Apr 19, 2015 2:00 pm

I dont think theres any number on it all.. the butt plate,floor plate and barrel all match but the bolt seems to be numberless. . Ill get a new post and pics up today. Hopefully in the next hour
