Russian Model 91/30 rifles
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... Gil

Gil,
What is wrong with the M44 Mosin? I have one in mint condition that shoots .308 jacketed and .309 cast bullets into about 1.5 inches at 100 yards from the bench. The bayonet makes the M44 a bit muzzle heavy, but that helps me shoot better offhand and the carbine length is handier than the 91/30 in my opinion. Adam

I have about six Model 1944 rifles (Russian, Polish, Hungarian and Chinese) and they are just fine. The chap wanted a WWII vintage rifle to go with his M1 Garand and the Model 91/30 was a better fit. Besides, he is on a limited budget and he can get a Model 1944 later if he really wants one. All the best...

Gil,
Ok, so why did you not steer the chap to a M1938 Carbine? The M1938 seems to be an ideal woods deer rifle as well as complimenting a Garand in said chap's collection. Next time you come here, please bring a VG, or better, M1938 Carbine for me. Please help improve this chap's collection. Amen. Adam
