1947 Izhevsk 91/30 - Not an ex-sniper
Posted: Sun Apr 28, 2013 9:02 am
It is well known that Izhevsk continued to produce PU snipers in limited numbers up to 1948, what isn't well known is they also produced 91/30 infantry rifles in even lesser quanities. While the production of 91/30's was a by product of the sniper production, from best as anyone can tell is any rifle that was produced to be a sniper and didn't pass muster ( accurracy testing) never got finished as a sniper, but rather as a 91/30, hence the lack of welded over scope mount holes and lack of scope number. This 1947 Izhevsk 91/30 is one of those that didn't make the grade and rather then scrape it the Soviets just finished out as a 91/30. It has been refurbed and is a total mix master, everything a typical refurb is except for its date of Mfg, which makes this "typical refurb" very untypical
