Nice pics Martin, I am interested in seeing more of your rifle if you have a chance to post more photos.
When i went to view my rifle there was a choice of two, (both recently imported from Germany) the one i passed on was also a 1942`ish Izhevsk, with a rough, unfinished, round receiver.
The woodwork was in very nice condition and the barrel looked crisp, but i was more taken with the markings on the earlier Tula.
The picture of your barrel shows a rough finish, does this extend to the muzzle?

Nice rifle, Joe!
Normaly the rough turning marks do not extend till the muzzle, because a bayo was fitted and the barrel was smoothed on that part, where the bayo would sit.
Seems like, I should pay more attention to the russian Mosins, some good ones in the croud of WW2 built an later refurbed guns

Chris already answered the question Joe.
Woodwork and barrel are in very good condition on my 91/30 too.
I'll take some pictures and post them tomorrow evening.
She performed well with the .308 bullets, but my guess is that she will perform even better with the 210gn .311 casted ones.
I'll keep you posted.
Met vriendelijke groet,
Martin

I'm very happy with this one Joe.
Collecting is great, but you have to "stay in touch" with your collection.
That's why I buy Mosin Nagants on my shooters license.
Met vriendelijke groet,
Martin

Thats a very nice example Martin, the woodwork doesn`t appear to be varnished on yours, did you remove it ?

No, I didn't remove it Joe.
It is varnished alright, but it's a very thin layer.
Maybe it doesn't show because of the angle I took the picture in.
Met vriendelijke groet,
Martin

They look good , Joe. Really surprised at 18 inches high at 200 meters. I got a bunch of Mosins of various lengths and none of them are off more than a few inches at 100 yards.
