The bayo is a repro. not a "fake" mind, but an honest repro. It came with the rifle. I haven't ascertained yet which make it may be. Some of the differences to prevent being seen as a 'fake'... Repro is blued repro oal is 11 3/4" to original's 11.5" scabbard color is darker and metal rim is black instead of matching the rest. Markings are wrong.

Looks somewhat like the crossed cannon marks usually having a depot mark in the middle. I do not recognize that mark in the center though. Just could be my old eyes doing there age thing but had to ask. Thanks! Bill

Keeping this in mind could this be a sub contracted rifle barrel and the number is ID'ing a certain maker? I for some reason was of mind the they only had letters in there and it ID'd the arsenal. Tried to find the other post on this to no avail but Yuku has been screwing around for days on me and I have lost several posts. Bill

Posts: 221 (02/10/10 12:21 AM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Sorry to dredge up an old thread . . . here is an Imperial Eagle that got away. It's on my 1931 Hex 91/30 from Aztec - way back when you could get any of the Mosins for $49.95 (anyone remember those "good ol' days"??? I bought a complete set at that price when I first got my C&R). I didn't actually get this for so cheap but it was one of the last ones they had before they ran out of stuff to sell. Talked to the big boss himself to pick me out a good one. I think the price was $79.95 + $10.00 shipping. Mike Last Edited By: griznatz 02/10/10 12:34 AM. Edited 3 times.
