Russian Spliced Stocks

[Miller Tyme]

While everyone has heard, seen, or owned a Finnish spliced stock, very few have ever seen or owned a Russian spliced stock. These are 2 examples of Russian spliced stocks on a 37 Tula 91/30 single splice and a 32 Izhevsk 91/30 double splice stocks.

The 37 Tula is your typical forced matched 91/30 refurb with a nose repair and a early style splice stock with both front and rear screwed sling eschons.












The 32 Izhevsk is also a typical forced matched 91/30 with a nose repair too, but it is in a late war stock with a war time splice front end and a heal splice on the butt of the rifle.

The craftsmanship of the splices says a lot for the wood workers who put so much effort into saving what most countries would have scrapped.
