Bought both of these of Ebay back in 2020 before sactions hit. They came out of Russia, not original or historial. The one in chrome was listed as a "parade" bayonet. Anyone else have unusual mosin bayonets, or seen the ones ive posted. Have not seen an example of the chrome "parade" bayonets since.
Had this type 38 carbine for a year now. It's one of the guns Japan sold to Britain that ended up in Finland by way of Russian. Has a British rack number, and some kind of personal marking on the right finger groove. Pleasant little rifle, soft shooting, and rather light.
I have this M91 with a blued bolt, and I was wondering if anyone has any info on who might have done it. I have encountered at least 8 different Carcano that have had the same blued bolts. This gun has been reblued entirely, and i don't think it was done in the States. When I first disassembled the rifle, the underside of the barrel was still gunked up with cosmoline to the point that the stock was stuck to the barrel. The pitting I encountered under the barrel was blued over as well. Any info would be nice.
Other than that, this gun has what looks to be an M with 3 slashes through it on the right side of the stock. The bolt is the smoothest Carcano bolt I've ever felt. Accuracy wise, the gun shoots 1.5-2 moa using factory PPU @100yds.
Picked this Romanian SKS up at a gun show for 400 back in April. The gun has been reblue extremely shiny. Like the richest, mosy shiny blueing I've encountered. The bolt also has very nice chrome plating. Stock is non-matching, but the rest of gun matches.
Had this rifle for several years, and it's one of my favorites. Bore is still good.Barrel and receiver are both marked and dated 1899 Ishevsk. Was able to find a nice SA marked sling for it last year.
I've always wondered what the S2 marking on the barrel shank was. Apparently, it's an Austrian capture mark according to what I've found online. Unless some here has info saying otherwise.
