This WWII-era 91/30 was manufactured by Izhevsk Arsenal in 1942 and features the round receiver pattern typical of mid-war production. Chambered in 7.62x54R with a 29-inch barrel, it offers the classic long-line profile and ballistic performance associated with the standard Soviet service rifle of the period. Made in Russia, it carries period-correct arsenal markings and an importer-applied serial number on the receiver.
The action is a two-lug, cock-on-open design, feeding from a fixed internal magazine. It is set up for efficient loading via 5-round stripper clips, with a total capacity of 5+1. The bolt is left in-the-white, contrasting the blued receiver and metalwork.
Sighting equipment includes a hooded post front sight and a tangent rear sight. The full-length hardwood stock features finger-groove lightening cuts, inletted sling slots with metal escutcheons, and an upper handguard. Length of pull measures 13.5 inches, providing a familiar fit for the platform.
Markings include the Soviet state crest on the receiver and Izhevsk arrow-in-triangle arsenal stamps. An import mark from PW ARMS REDMOND WA is present. Matching serial numbers on the bolt and floorplate add cohesion to this example, while a non-matching cruciform socket bayonet, leather ammunition pouches, and the standard cleaning rod round out the set.
