SCW 91/30

Post by Srupidhaircuts »

Found this non import marked Spanish civil war 9130, all Izhevsk parts, all numbers match except bolt, bore is mint, bolt looks and feels like its brand new, Bluing is 98% but stock has seen serious action. Did the Spanish ever re-blue rifles? It does have the " M18" ink mark under the butt plate. No " Made in USSR" stamp.

M18 stamp, sorry I missed it myself 😄 it looks refinished, did the Spanish have repair depots? Paid $340 for it, kind of steep but I just had to add one to my collection as I haven't came across a SCW mosin yet. The blued bolt connector is cool as well. I have never seen that.

There is evidence that the Spanish reblued Mosin's, it was likely done by the Nationalists after the Civil War ended. Some SCW Mosin's have been found with blueing inside the receiver despite the fact that the insides were left in the white when assembled at Soviet factories. Nice looking rifle, it's serial falls in between several known SCW Mosin's so between that and the MI8 stamp it's almost certainly a SCW veteran. 340$ is a steep price? Not where I come from, you can't find post war Soviet refurbs anymore for less than 400-450$.
