Read 35 pages of forum tonight and didn't see one posting on 1939 Izhevsk 91/30 Are these that hard to find?

No, they are not hard to find, I have at least two. Sometimes the more common years don't get board coverage unless they stand out somehow. MO marked, that sort of thing. Now is your opportunity, post some pictures of yours and then there will be one on the board. Remember if you don't link the pics from photobucket then they need to be sized down to 640x480 before they will post.

Thank You.
And it's a great shooter too. I don't think I could part with it, that's for sure.

Not too hard to find at all. There's a bunch of them out there...

That is an absolutely beautiful rifle.

You've got a nice M1891-30 there. According to the info at MosinNagant.net that is based on info taken from Karl Heinz Wrobel, there were 636,244 M1891-30 rifles made at Izhevsk in 1939. Contrasted with 760,423 manufactured at Tula in the same year. 1939 is a relatively high production year for Izhevsk in the prewar years.

A friend of mine has a 1939 Tula for what it's worth. It's a nice refurb.

Here's mine

Oh yeah, that's a good looking dark laminate
