Lined out MO?

Post by NLMosin »

I bought this Tula recently and I finally got around to looking at it closer. It has the MO marks and second date marks but they are lined out...any ideas what happened? Did this 91/30 go to the Ministry and then get put back into service? I appreciate your thoughts.

I guess the rifle was transferred to another agency, interesting, I don't recall seeing MO marks struck out before, but then I can't remember a damn thing anyway. Very nice find.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

The rest of the rifle is pretty unremarkable. Its in a post war stock. The bolt as you see has a B stamped on it but other than that its a garden variety stock.

On Facebook? Check out the non-sporter preservationist group at: OOOPS. Deleted by Facebook because it's evil to even discuss collectible firearms on social media these days.

Thanks for the link racerguy00. Rare or not, weird or not. I think I'll hang on to that one. 8-)

Everything is rare on Refurbs as they are made to little in the way of a set pattern. Just as we are truly not sure of what MO actually and truly means they are not sure of anything on a "normal" refurb. Bill
