Bought a '43 Izzy from a guy on The Guns Network.
Rifle, Bayo, Sling for $85 shipped priority. Bore is very nice, floorplate is forced, but everything else matches.:up:

You get the opportunity to spear that many deer, out your ways, do you? :P

[youmightbearedneck]

That spear's not for deer - it's for Nazi's! ;)

I can't help buying these old rifles when I see a deal, they're so much fun.
I've had carbines, but this is my first 91/30, can't wait to try it out.

[Barkley]

They're alot of fun. They aren't the flame thrower the carbines are and the kick isn't as bad. Considering the finish etc they are very accurate too.

[ExSniper]

That's not a bayonet, it is a range estimation and sighting device. Lean forward till it touches your adversary, then squeeze the trigger!:up:

I almost got one last year, but optied for the M38 instead. Only because it is more my size.

My son prefers the m44 carbine and I prefer my 91-30. Both very nice guns.

I keep meaning to get one or two of the 91/30s that ORF currently has for a good deal.

If you are a member of the AK Forums, you can get in on their group buy.

Current prices are 62.95 for the solid wood and 69.95 for the laminates with the sling/accessories. I don't think they have much of a selection left now though.

[Saunders]

Very nice. I have a number of Mosins. 91-30, 38, 44 and 91-59.

I particularly like the 91-59.

They do wake up your range mates.

Especially the M-38 eh?;) :P

Good hog hunter or pig sticker.

[bobotech]

Especially the M-38 eh?;) :P

And the M44 too!

I also shoot a Romak 3/PSL that takes the 7.62x54R round as well but its a semiautomatic based upon a heavily beefed up AKM action.

When I decide to rip off 10 rounds as fast as I can pull the trigger, it seems that the rest of the range gets all quiet and watches me. :)

Its a fun gun.

I'd love to have an SVT-40, or a Romak/Dragunov type rifle. I just can't justify spending that much. Wish I would have bought one 10 years ago.

That 91/30 I bought is a good rifle. I actually hit the target at 100 yards. Granted, it was a big target.......;)

[Mike Weber]

I like the M91/30's too I've got a couple of them, A 1944 IZZY and a Tula made prewar rifle. I only paid $35.00 for that Izzy before they became popular in this country and since I've had it I've put over 1000 lbs of meat in the freezer with it. Not bad for a thirtyfive dollar rifle.

That Romak of Bobotech's with its muzzlebrake is a lot louder than either of my M91/30's

[youmightbearedneck]

Strangely enough there was one in the rack when I went to the gun store this evening.
$900 - I just can't do it.:(
It was very cool though.
