I would say the rifle is common with the rough machining of the War being visible to you in your inspection. If the rifle is refurbed they are most often all matching with or without EP and line outs. Sounds like it will be a great shooter by your description and I hope you enjoy it on the range. Good Luck with it and I do hope you enjoy shooting it! Bill

They looked remarkably like Finn-captures, if not fresh from the battle field. I would have loved to pick one up (this was a couple months ago), but I was short $$$ and before I could even blink- they (there were two of them) were gone. And I haven't seen any more [at Big 5] since... Congrats on your find DanM1man -Palimino Last Edited By: Palimino Stripe 11/03/09 02:13 AM. Edited 1 times.

But they were cheap. I still have two 91/30s that I have never fired. One is a 1934 Tula hex receiver also. The stocks on both of them look like they were used as tomato stakes for twenty years. Now the ones they are peddling are the refurbished ones and boy, what a difference in appearance! I have two of the refurbed 91/30's that I got at gun shows, but came from Big 5 for the previous owner and they look like they were made yesterday. Curt
