Russian M91/30. Not the typical refurb since it doesn't have any import markings. 1942, Izhevsk with matching numbers on bolt, barrel, and magazine floorplate. Receiver also has 1942 Izhevsk markings and it would presumbly be the original receiver although they weren't numbered. The stock is a later replacement with a mis-matched number and some of the parts on the bolt are Tula so presumably this went through an arsenal rework at some point, although the stock does not have the heavy varnish you usually see. I think it could be a Korea or Vietnam bring-back, but nothing to prove it. The condition is pretty good overall, but it certainly has the rough machining seen on mid-war production. The bore is a little dark, with strong rifling, not counter-bored. Sold. Noblesville, can travel.
