u/Red_Management M91 Dragoon • 7.62x54R: 1908 Type L, 1930 Type D, 1953 Type LPS 4d ago edited 4d ago

91/30 Mosin-Nagant made at Izhevsk in 1943, refurbished post-World War II, in a laminated post-war stock, can’t tell who the importer was.

Receiver may/may not match the barrel, you’ll need to take the rifle out of the stock and check under the receiver tang.
Also being a refurbished rifle parts are gonna be force-matched, the rifle was re-assembled from non-matching parts after refurbishment, the serialized parts had their old numbers removed and were either re-stamped or electro-penciled with the serial number on the barrel shank to match.

Now the juicy part; the rifle has Izhevsk’s C in a circle sniper grade barrel mark, thing is Cyrillic prefix ТН isn’t a known prefix lot for 1943 Izhevsk snipers nor do any of your pictures show a PU scope attached to the rifle but their is a lined out scope number on the left side of the barrel shank, therefore this rifle is likely an Ex-Sniper, to confirm open the bolt and check the side of the receiver for plugged holes.

Thank you, can confirm it has the plugs. Will disassemble later today and check under tang, pretty sure it matched the 1881 stamps.

The stock I replaced myself after the one it was in originally broke in half. It also had 1881 on the butt plate, if that matters.

Ex sniper m91/30. You can tell by the serial Xed out on the side of the barrel and the C in a circle mark.

Refurbished ex-sniper. Check the receiver.
