One that Ivan missed ?

Post by Miller Tyme » Sun May 17, 2015 6:06 pm

Found this one up the other day with a low B.I.N. and just couldn't resist. It's a 36 Izhevsk 91/30 that is all Izhevsk parts, and except for the bolts is all stamped matching, non-import marked, and never received the rear sight upgrades. The stock has seen some light sanding and it is missing it's cleaning rod, but the bore while dark has very nice rifling in it and should shoot clean. It is always a plus when you find one of these that Ivan didn't get his hands on during the post war refurbs.

Nope, Dragoon production ended in 1932 according to the Soviets ( though a 34 just recently surfaced)

Reproduction bolts, some of which can fool even experts, can be bought fairly cheap in the US, original bent bolts are hard to find and pretty costly.
