well, the stock is cracked (between magazine and bayonet channel) and subsequently pinned to repair.
I'm not even a rifle guy and could see that

Hmmm... Not bad lookin' otherwise.

I'll hafta look at mine when I get home tonight and see if it resembles that at all.

It looks to be they sanded the old numbers of to restamp that one and not even tried to hide the fact by doing it with the grain or lightly.

I'm no expert on Israeli-reworked Mausers, but that scope mount looks like modern junk. And the finish looks like paint with a bad job of artificial wear applied.

A lot of bidders that see the word "Nazi" and think its worth a fortune?

 

[Czechnologist]

My only comments are, "Yikes" and "Dang, that's one high scope!" The muzzle brake is also another 'nice' touch.

I agree, thats what i see.

Not even a good "copy" (fake).

The only thing I find interesting is the SS contract receiver being used by the Israelis.

Not really "Bubba", but I figured Brutus' description of Classic's new shipment of 91/30's looks like it was written by Bubba. See below

"So What is a Dragoon Era Rifle. Well, even though the name itself is a little misleading becuase they are not truely Dragoons, the rifles are a really nice find and considered the most desireable of the all the M91/30's . Here's the story. The earliest variations of these rifles back before the advent of modern centerfire ammunition, were all black powder ( hence the term Dragoon ). Those rifles gradually evolved into the more modern Hex Receiver rifles ( the hex receivers being vital for additional strength ) that fired the early and quite potent black powder propellent variation of a centerfire cartridge. When the smokeless powder cartridges that we use today were developed the Modern Day M91/30 rifle was born. However, up until 1930 many of these rifles, depending on the arsenal that they were built at, maintained not only the Hex receiver, but also the workmanship and hand crafted quality that the early transitional Mosins were known for. They also retained the highly desirable
( and just really cool ) Dragoon Era markings on the receiver which featured prominent emblems representing the Soviet Empire, as well as the cryllic writing and dating that represents a different and very historical period of time.

After 1930 both Tula and Izhevsk began phasing out the hex receivers in favor of the less expensive and more easily mass produced round receivers that were far more common to the later guns. They also discontinued the elaborate receiver stampings that were characteristic of the Dragoon era rifles. All Dragoon era rifles will be hex receiver, but not all hex receivers will be Dragoon era. To be considered a Dragoon era rifle the weapon will be dated prior to 1930 and will have the more prominant markings remeniscent of either the Tula or Izhevsk factory on the receiver. An example of each is represented in the images above.
As an aside. Although we are not selecting for these or offering them as an option at this time our boy's in the back have noticed several of the Tula Dragoons that were also M/O marked with a re-issue date in the 1950's to the Soviet Ministry of Defense or Home Guard. Who knows, you may even get one of those."

That is amazing gibberish.

How can someone write such nonsense?
I have never been able to understand the way a bullshitter's mind works, nor the mind of a pathological liar.
The bullshitter must know he's bullshitting, but like the pathological liar, he just keeps going.

That is an amazing concentration of nonsense.

Looks like Bubba did some "home stippling" on this 1911....

In the name of all that is good and holy, take a look at this hot mess....

That is truly tragic.

Am I wrong for laughing in this thread instead of crying?

Laughing and crying are on the same circular spectrum. Maybe you cried so much that you fell back to the other side?

That last monstrosity is painful to look at.

I laughed too. $1000 optic, $300 rifle, $4 JB Weld in the middle. Hilarious.

Testify, brother. Amen!
