Built at Izhevsk Arsenal during WWII, this Model 91/30 uses the round wartime receiver pattern with a blued steel finish. The bolt has a straight, in-the-white handle, and the rifle is chambered in 7.62x54R. The 29-inch steel barrel retains an unthreaded crown and is configured for use with a cruciform socket bayonet.
Sighting equipment is the standard military set: a hooded front post and a tangent rear sight with sliding elevation. The fixed internal magazine holds five rounds and is designed for stripper-clip feeding, consistent with the service configuration.
The full-length wood stock wears a shellac-type arsenal finish and is paired with a wood upper handguard. Notable stock details include grasping grooves, sling slots with metal escutcheons, and two barrel bands. Length of pull measures 13.5 inches.
Markings and provenance are correct for a Soviet service rifle. Stamps include the Izhevsk arrow-in-triangle, Soviet state crest, and inspection marks. It is a Century Arms International import from Georgia, Vermont, with the C.A.I. barrel mark and long numeric identifier. The rifle reflects typical Soviet arsenal refurbishment practices with force-matched numbered components.
