hey...ya your somewhat right it is a M91/30 which means its made in 1891 the bolt is all the way flat so it means its the older version but it would be in your best interest to sell that beautiful mosin for $200 or higher because that is a good rifle but if you ever shoot it clean it often because the primers are very corrosive and could ruin the barrel. also use alkali solvent oil it helps allot so there you go good luck
This appears to be an older trigger group with the milled trigger guard. HRA stamped their guards and HRA with the drawing number would be on the group.
I don't know if this is correct or not but I read on another website that the punchmark by the P on the barrel indicates if it's a replacement or not. The webise stated that if the punch is inside the loop of the P it's an original but if outside it's a replacement.
I have a mauser with several nazi symbols, I was told by uncle that it was a German sniper rifle he took in WWII. Is there any records that would show these type of guns.
I really enjoyed the information and history,especially the close-up photos you did on this rare svt-38 rifle. Has anyone decided to list and have a group website for all, any surviving svt-38 owners/operators? It would be very benefitical and a viable venue of ascertaining exactly the number of svt-38 we have still in existence. Thanks. again.
Gentlemen I am really interested in the Cantilever Mount, but I am unable to get a price, or get to where i can order one foe my Yugo M48a. Please let me know where and how I can get one. I would like to get a nice scope to go with it. Thanx ever so much. Kenneth Barnett.
I bought a M2830 in 1997 from an arms dealer in Beverly Hills, CA. Do you know it's value now? I paid about $200 for it then, but knew it was worth it. The quality is much better than the Russian Moison Nagant.
