I found this little gem buried in the back of a local gun store. I cross checked a few of the serials and a few of the things to see if it was fake or not. I can't tell with the scope but the rest of the gun seems to ba great

Its a 1943 All numbers matching, No crown, No Counterbore, 91/30s. It appears to have the Russian Symblos stamped onto the barrel and scope but I don't have any white crayons to show the one on the reciver. The rifiling appears to be crisp.

I had a gunsmith clean it and check it out for me. He said it was the worst rifle he has cleaned in a long time. He said it took about 150 patches to get it all cleaned up but it seems like a pretty decent weapons he said.

I hope it's truly authentic. If not, no biggie. I plan to hang onto it anyway.


Sorry about the crappy pictures. Im going to the range tomorrow. I hope to get some better ones.
