Can anyone ID this russian rifle?
I have a chance to buy one of these, not the one on this site but was trying to find out more about it. Just not finding anything, prices, collector value/rarity, if they were accurate, famous for anything etc.

It's an M91/30. That price is very very high. Obviously he's advertising it as a WWII rifle and not the actual model number to trick some fool.
I have two M44 (they have short barrels 16in I think and a folding attached bayonet). They are pretty accurate I'd have to say and a blast to shoot, literally. Ammo is dirt cheap, but corrosive.
If you do pick one up and can afford it, pick up an authentic scope. They were used from WWII to Vietnam. Definately adds to the shootability as iron sights can be a bear

Re: Can anyone ID this russian rifle?
awesome thanks, that's not the one I'm looking at, the one I'm looking at is 130 I believe is what it was, and also has the attached bayonet which for the life of me i couldnt figure out how to open it when I was looking at it.

Re: Can anyone ID this russian rifle?
Skuggi,
i'd look around. you can find these at local gun shows (harmarville, syrian shrine, washington co fg) for like $100.
i picked up an m44 in awsome condition for like 110 out the door (with the "bag o accessories", and check fees included).
if you cant wait till the next local show, you can always stop at a local dunham's sports;
they always have them. ive seen price vary from 100 - 160 depending on condition/model. overall, its an awsome rifle.
a great resouece site, too, is:

i'd pick one up. i already have 2 and almost got another one at the last harmarville show (but didnt since im focused on getting a 1911 now... and hey, i already have 2 mosins, ha ha).
like said they are inexpensive and literally a blast to shoot so go get one ;-)Last edited by JSPA; April 27th, 2007 at 08:06 AM.

Re: Can anyone ID this russian rifle?
I was shooting Joe Smith's M44 Mosin at the last pafoa group shoot (Pgh) and I must now have one.
I've heard reference of them kicking like a mule, but it wasn't as bad as I had anticipated. That muzzle flash is SPECTACULAR! BOOOOOM-FLASH!!!
I'm surprised the Germans didn't drop their rifles and wave the white flag when that beast was being fired at them!
Skuggi, if you're coming to the shoot, ask Joe Smith if you can test-drive his.I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

Re: Can anyone ID this russian rifle?
Agreed on both counts. It's a plain, garden variety 91/30, and doesn't come with accessories. His price is higher than an ex-sniper laminate. It never ceases to amaze me how people price stuff without marketing or sales experience.
I *may* be selling a PU-scoped (original set-up) 91/30 in the future if anyone's interested. PM me for details, as this isn't the place for an ad.
