Any self-respecting collector with a decent representation of the finest firearms in the world will have at least one 1942-44 Izhevsk round receiver 91/30 in their safe/closet/rafters.  Looks like a fine example thumb1

Yes, I have to dish out some additional grief for RM or it just wouldn't be a Mosin thread  :))

I honestly don't know how you guys manage to paddle a boat with these things...  I almost stabbed myself in the neck just carrying it around the house.    :)

I have enough of 'em to outfit all three banks of rowers on a Greek trireme.   chuckles1

Well, you need two of them to put in the oar locks. Take the bayonets off first and keep those handy, you will need them for spear fishing later.
It's sad that the motto of young Americans isn't "live free or die" or "I regret that I have but one life to give for my country" or even "ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country". Instead their motto is "pee yourself, shelter in place and cry for help". Pathetic.

What is that strange pattern on the receiver, I don't have anything newer than 1939...  rofl

Sure looks purty all gleaming in the sun! Even though the sling is on backwards... cough.

Think the sling would effect how it cuts through the water?    rofl2          Hell if I know, I strategically picked out this oar amongst 200 boxes just like it.   :P

You probably had to cut an extra cord of wood, just to get a pic of it on the woodpile. You could harpoon a whale with that thing   :))

It sure does look good man. That stock is slick.  thumb1

Ya know I don't have the problem of mosinitis y'all seem to have. I have SCHID which has caused me to be immune to it.

Nice rifle though LC.

Make a side folder out of it...  nobody shoulders a gun anymore anyhow.

I certainly prefer the look of the pre war ones better....I just wish I had a pre war stock on my refurb.  I can't complain....it does have a nice post war stock....very similar to yours in fact.

The wartime receivers look like they were carved with a chisel....some worse than others, but still.  Mine is a three digit 1938, refurbed with some very nice BBQ paint that melts off with Hoppes....unfortunately not enough on the barrel to attach the bayo though. If I did get the thing on there, I doubt it would come off....and I don't have anywhere to display a nine foot long relic.

T53's suit me more....with my vision, I would need bifocals to see the sights from the other zip code...I mean muzzle.

I cannot seem to get the feel for shooting the 91/30 in the vicinity of the area of a county that happens to have a broad side of a barn in it.  cry1

I think mine might find itself hidden in a wall with some ammo for SHTF, by then I will probably not have any contacts left, so aiming will be merely a formality...and I can just wait until I can see the muzzle blast in the eyes of whatever is for dinner.  :)

I am seriously thinking about practicing my spear chunking skills with this thing...  paint an orange bullseye on a tree or something.

If mine were a little crummier looking...I would be tempted to spear fish with it....six months running a blue ribbon trout stream for the Forest Service...one gets a little tired of fly fishing.   

There are a couple of holes with some big lunkers in there, that laugh at whatever you throw at them....or eat the actual flies you slap off of yourself....infuriating to say the least....and they are RIGHT there...a bayonet laden oar would come in very handy.  Then again, there are endangered Bull Trout to worry about....some of them are satellite tagged.  :(

Then again...I could just say I was crossing the stream, dropped my gun and accidentally speared an endangered species, why let it go to waste?   :o

I've been hanging around some of you rascals too much, I'm starting to think I need one of these.
