Beautiful small lot of arsenal refinished Russian M91/30 rifles. 7.62x54r caliber, 5 round bolt action. These came to us pre-boxed for maximum protection and are one of the most excellent groups of surplus rifles we have seen in some time. Each rifle comes complete with a bayonet, original dog collar sling, two ammo pouches, oil bottle, canvas pouch, and small toolset. Rifles feature excellent wood stocks and a smooth metal finish. As with all surplus, the stocks will vary from rifle to rifle in color and will show some storage marks and possibly some very minor scuffs..., but they are very nice overall. Bluing is consistent and close to 100%. Again we are not representing these as perfect as all surplus will vary, and some will undoubtedly be nicer than others, but this is as a beautiful lot of arsenal refinished surplus rifles as we have ever seen overall. M91/30 rifles, especially nice ones, have been tough to get, and we feel very fortunate to have acquired these.
Important Notice - We say in the video that the rifles we have seen so far from this group have nice original serial numbers in heavy case lettering, and that is true. However, these rifles came to us pre-boxed, and we have only opened or viewed a very small sampling. We assume the small sampling we have reviewed will be most representative of the lot. However, we also know full well that surplus characteristics can vary from piece to piece and that all of the rifles in the shipment may not be the same as the samples we have reviewed in regards to original serial numbers. i.e., there may be some scrubs, force matches ... etc. As such, we make no guarantees in regards to original serial #'s either matching or otherwise and will accept no returns in regards to markings. Also, while the sample rifles we have looked at have all looked good, there is always an ugly duckling or two in any group of surplus. As such, while we are confident that the rifles shown are representative of the conditions as a whole, these rifles are still surplus, and, as with all surplus, conditions will vary.
Note - This extraordinary group of Russian made M91/30 rifles were imported from Ukraine and have some unique markings and a very slight modification to the rear sight, which is pinned at the 300-meter mark. This modification made the rifle legal for the Ukrainian civilian market and also made them legal to export, which is how they were obtained. The pin can be dremeled off from the rear and removed by the end-user if so desired, but we have chosen to leave the pins as these are how they were purchased and should make them very unique to the U.S. market. The availability of these rifles was limited to a very small lot of guns that were marked and designated as permissible to the Ukrainian civilian market prior to the Russian invasion/annex of Crimea in Ukraine.
