Been away from this forum for a little while, had gotten back into surplus rifles last year but then my wife and I found out she was pregnant, couple that with multiple other unexpected expenses forced me to sell much of my collection minus a few items I refused to sell which included my Garand, Savage Enfield, Italian Carcano M91, and a Chinese T53 I had gotten from Omega
Gone were my 1943 M44, M38, x2 1944 M44s, several 91/30s, Japanese Arisaka,x2 Turk Mausers, and GEW 88. But on the plus side I got a son who I can mold into another collector of surplus guns
Finally got caught up on everything, and have started browsing Armslist again to try to rebuild the collection. Lucked out when I got rid of my Gew 88 cause received in a Izhevsk 1941 M91/30 as partial trade. Saw a particular M91/30 that I couldn't believe what I was seeing
A 1936 Izhevsk round receiver that had the flaming bomb MP8, the hangers, and the USSR mark. Immediately sent an email, traded off a Beretta 92S I had got on a whim and can easily replace cause Sovereign Guns is right down the road from me. Seller knew he had a M91/30 wasn't until someone told him it was a SCW that he went up $100 cause it was originally listed at $200.
Drove 45 minutes to get it, no numbers match, and bore is filfthy but glad to have it
Missing the front sight blade and the stock cross bolt retainer. Also has a slight crack in top handguard which is Spanish style
