Izhmash, the arsenal at Izhevsk, made a great number of 91/30 rifles. This used example is chambered in 7.62x54R with a five-round magazine. The serial number is A9267, and the weight is 26-inch barrel with a front post and adjustable rear sight.

The seller gives the bore as bright and sharp, which is a good sign. The notes mention a matching bolt, butt plate, and magazine. The overall condition is described as well used, with extensive cosmetic wear, including holster-style dings and edge rubbing visible throughout. The rifle functions mechanically, and the seller recommends it for range use or as a working firearm.

That is a fair way to sell a Mosin. A rifle with a clean bore and honest wear often shoots better than a prettier one with a worn barrel. Surplus ammunition is cheap, and a Mosin can be accurate with good loads. It is a rifle that you can shoot without worry about its value.

When it arrives, check the headspace and the bolt. Look at the stock for cracks near the receiver, and clean the bore after each session with corrosive ammunition. It is sold as described, in used condition. The rifle ships to your local FFL dealer, where the background check is completed.
