So I had to take my daughter to the doctors and I decided to stop by the local mom and pop gun store. He had a M91 on the shelf listed as a french made Mosin, well a good once over and some searching on7.62x54r.net and it turned out to be a 1917 Tula Peter the great and appears to be a Balkan capture, it's a mix master but all there(hand guard, cleaning rod, sling) and id in very good shape, it passes the No-Go gauge and is not counterbored with a good muzzle. I gave them the 325.00( I know probably too much)walked away with it. I also scored about 390rds of M2 ball and tracer on belts for 150.00 (Den 42 & TW45). now I have to give the wife her due

will add pictures later

Given that refurbished M91/30's are going for around $300 now paying $325 for an M91 is not bad.

Yup, for a Balkan, that looks good and was at a pretty good price as well. Make sure to give us all a range report!
