So I was at the gunshop just now, wandering around gawking, and in a giant crate of badly beaten-up 91-30 M-Ns with gnarly bores I found a 1940 Izhevsk with brass fittings, a bore that looks like it was hand-crafted by Jesus sometime last week, and no import marks.
The stock is a little banged up, but the rifle is otherwise pristine.
I've been looking for a 91-30 M-N since I picked up an M44 last year and decided I like these rifles. They want $100 for it, but I could probably get it for around $80-$85.
Should I get it? How rare is it to find one of these with a bore that nice and no import marks? I haven't been looking at them that long so I don't really know if this one is a keeper.
