Classic just got a batch of Mosin 91/30's for $99!

[SWO Daddy]

I just picked up my Mosin from Classic this morning at Sure Shot (yes...this morning...thanks Joe).

I'm really happy with the purchase. I paid the $10 extra for hand-select and the rifle is in great shape with one scuff on the right sight of the stock which you can see in the pictures. Everything looks forced-match, and the barrel is clean with strong and bright rifling.

As you can see, the rifle appears to be a DDR:












Now, as you could probably see in the earlier pictures, there is something ground off the right side of the receiver which I've magnified below. Can anyone else make out the "e?" Any ideas?

Obviously a DDR but I don't know about the P60. Can't wait to find out!

So many interesting marks on this batch of rifles.

This batch for is a winner for sure. Hopefully this keeps up!

I'm tempted to buy another, but I just bought two Type-53s, so I'll just let the temptation go. There, now it's gone.



Oops! Back again.........

The lesson I'm learning with C&R is to buy between Nov and Dec and sell in the summer. These deals are killing me.

The P60 is a interesting mark.. the owner of this rifle should look into that mark...

Have you ever seen a lone M stamped under the serial number? Mine has that and I've never seen that marking before.

I've looked into it just a little bit. 54r.net calls it "unknown," I've read somewhere else that it may be an (uncommon) refurb mark.

Ive read on one forum they thought it was a refurb mark but only because the word for repair or refurb in russian starts with "P" Two other guys mentioned that they had P60 on their guns and both were Ex Sniper Tulas.
I think that was from mosinnagant.net or something.

This one isnt a tula but is it an ex sniper? Does it have the holes filled in on the left side of the receiver? (pull bolt back and look inside on left wall of receiver for two circles) Maybe its sniper related, though I have 2 Izzys, one sniper and one ex and neither have that mark.

Since its a DDR gun, maybe there is a connection to that, Could it have been something put there by the Germans?

WOW, I'm out of town so I won't get to see my package till I get back.

I didn't hand select but seems like people are getting good finds.

[Alphabrew]

Did anyone get an ex sniper yet?

Stand alone "M" does not ring a bell to me

I did give it a quick look for evidence of it being a sniper...if so, they did a great job cleaning it up. I'm not an expert, but I didn't see any evidence.

Should be a pretty obvious scope number on the left receiver near the bolt and some welds (filling in scope holes) visible on the left inside receiver wall when the bolt is open.

 

[C-Par]

LOL, my wife wasn't around to sign

Hopefully they deliver tomorrow.

 

[psoyring]

If the rifle was an ex-sniper and Izhevsk, you would see a scope number on the left side of the barrel shank and plugged holes when the bolt was removed on the left side of the receiver.

Classic dropped the price by $10.

Only for new orders...goes without saying.
