The hex receiver is the early Mosin look, and it is a favorite among collectors. This 91/30 carries the 1927 date and CCCP markings, according to the seller. It is used, in 7.62x54mmR, with a 29 inch barrel and a five round magazine. The finish is black with a wood stock.

Hex receivers were produced in the early years of Soviet manufacture before the round receiver became the standard. Because they were made by hand in smaller numbers, they have a following. The CCCP stamp marks the rifle as a product of the Soviet period.

The seller says the rifle is in good condition, with a crack on the stock, but still in working order. A cracked stock is common on old Mosins and can be repaired or replaced, and it tells you the price reflects that defect. Check the crack's location, since a split near the tang or recoil lug can affect how the rifle shoots.

This is a good rifle for someone who wants a decent piece of early Soviet history to keep or restore.

It is sold as described. It ships to your chosen FFL dealer, and the background check takes place there.
