91/30 Mosin Nagant originally manufactured by Izhevsk in 1933 and later converted into a 91/30 configuration by Century Arms International. The barrel shank bears the Soviet Russian hammer and sickle coat of arms above the date "1933r", the serial number, and the Izhevsk arsenal insignia. The left side of the hex receiver bears the importer-applied serial number, with the right side of the barrel bearing Century Arms' import stamp. The receiver is mounted with an aftermarket PU scope. Bolt and floorplate have been renumbered to match the receiver. CONDITION: Excellent, with metal components retaining the vast majority of their arsenal reapplied blue finish, exhibiting few minor marks from handling and storage overall. Bore is good, exhibiting consistent pitting in the grooves and retaining good rifling throughout. The stock exhibits a few superficial marks from storage and handling but is otherwise fine. The scope retains a crisp image.
