Gauge: 7.62x54 R
Barrel: 28 inch round
Finish: blue
Grip:
Stock: walnut
Item Views: 1180
Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 39
Class: Curio & Relic Long Gun
Description:

The rifle features post front and tangent rear sights and is equipped with a PU scope. The scope is marked with the hammer and sickle along with "91/30" over "No6-18986". Complete with a canvas scope cover. The top of the barrel has the Tula proof mark of a star with an arrow inside over "1938" (the year of manufacture) over the serial number (BK2424). The barrel is also marked with the number "41" (possibly arsenal rework date) and a Finnish "SA" proof, along with some scattered proofmarks. Turned down bolt handle, mismatched magazine floor plate, with the numbers "1779" and "132227" on the buttstock. A cartouche is stamped on the right side of the buttstock.

Rating Definition:

Fine as assembled. The rifle retains 60% faded original blue finish with the balance a smooth gray patina with some minor pitting (mostly on the receiver and rear of barrel). The stock is ill-fitting at the upper tang with a wood filled arsenal repair behind the trigger guard, otherwise very good with numerous minor dings and dents (mostly on the buttstock). Mechanically excellent. Opitcs are clear.

Excellent, with 97% of the original blue finish, showing some mild handling marks overall. Stock is excellent, with light scratches and pressure dents. Optics are clear, mechanically excellent.
