Wartime production at Izhevsk in 1943 places this rifle squarely in the WWII era, with the round receiver and straight bolt handle typical of the period. It feeds from a five-round internal magazine and is chambered in 7.62x54R. Matching Cyrillic serials on the bolt handle and magazine floorplate add cohesion to the configuration.
The 29-inch barrel shows a bright, mirror bore with sharp lands and grooves. Sighting is updated with a modern rear peep/aperture unit mounted to the original rear-sight base, working with the hooded front post; the front sight post has user-applied paint for visibility.
The hardwood stock is the classic full-length M91/30 pattern without finger grooves, with sling slots with metal escutcheons and two barrel bands, paired with a two-piece handguard. A rubber recoil pad is installed over the buttstock, yielding a 14.5 length of pull. The standard M91/30 cleaning rod remains installed beneath the barrel, and a canvas sling is fitted.
Arsenal and national markings are present, including the Izhevsk triangle-with-arrow and Soviet crest on the barrel shank. The receiver bears the PW ARMS REDMOND WA import mark. While originally configured for a detachable socket bayonet, this example has had the bayonet lug removed.
