These M91/59's that I have recently posted were from a collection that an older fellow/collector had. He had 31 with different dates, arsenals, and features. He had about 8 or 10 with "hex" receivers. Having access to large lots of M91/59's he had gone through about 600 M91/59's to select those in his collection. I feel fortunate to have a few of his thoroughly researched and selected examples and am working for additional opportunities from within that 8-10 number.
I don't think I will submit this one unless you insist. This is interesting in that I was able to acquire not only this "standard" Tula but an additional 5-line Tula which you have already seen. So, I have a representative sample of Izhevsk and Tula early barreled 91/59's. Under normal circumstances I would say that my collection is now "rounded out". But, although it has taken a while to realize it, a "rounded out collection" is essentially an Oxymoron for people infected with our sickness.
That's it.... until next time that is...
