The Cabela's I believe are from Molot or PW importers. There is some question as to if these were refinished by Molot prior to importation. That would account for the rounded edges.djbuck1 wrote:I have several M91/30s that went straight from the crate to the rack at Cabela's to me that do not have sharp edges on the finger grooves. These have the post-war refurb shellac over them as well.

Re: 1938 Tula 91/30 Finn
After comparing the finger groove area to a couple other rifles I think it is safe to say this was not a bubba refinish. The finger grooves have some wear but nothing excessive and does not look like that area was sanded.no4shot wrote:Another thing to look at is if it were sanded bubba normally does a good job of rounding areas that are supposed to be crisp corners. Like where the hand crasps are. Hold the rifle next to another one and compare countours.

I just love looking at these finned 91/30s. This is a nice rifle either way and you should be proud to own it. If not let me know and I will dispose of it for you
