Russian Model 91/30 rifles

[Gil Martin]

The local gun show had a lot of low cost military surplus arms for sale. One of the regular rifle match shooters wanted a Russian rifle. I steered him away from a Model 1944 and had him focus on a 91/30. He bought a 1931 dated Tula rifle with bayonet, sling and cartridge pouch for $89.00. The bore is perfect, the numbers match and she shoots very well with military ball ammo.

Last week, the guy bought a Yugoslav 24/47 and his wife is thrilled with his acquisitions. Seems a gun buy a week is OK with her. All the best...
