Produced at Izhevsk Arsenal in 1942, this 91/30 represents the standard Soviet service configuration of the period with the round receiver and a 29 in barrel. It is chambered in 7.62x54R and uses the correct fixed internal 5-round magazine with a hinged floorplate/trigger guard.
The rifle retains its classic iron sight setup: a hooded front post paired with a tangent rear ladder sight featuring a sliding cursor. This is the correct sighting arrangement for the 91/30 pattern.
The full-length hardwood stock includes an upper handguard, grasping groove, and sling slots. Metalwork is blued, while the bolt is bright and the steel buttplate is left in the white. Length of pull measures 13.5 in.
Markings include the Izhevsk triangle-with-arrow arsenal emblem, a Soviet hammer-and-sickle, and additional small inspector/proof stamps (including a small square). Part numbers are present on major components, with two matching pairs observed: the barrel shank and floorplate are numbered 4816, while the bolt and buttplate are numbered 4315. A separate interrupter/ejector system is present to prevent rimlock during feeding.
