Negative. Not cut down, recycled receivers. The only cut down mosins in any numbers are 91/59's
Someone know's their Mosins.
He ought to. He's trying to own all of them.

I really like the 1891/59 that I have, it was pretty worked over when it was converted, and the end result is a really nice and smooth receiver and stock. It's not sanitized so to speak, but the outside surfaces were all smoothed before it was reblued.
Out of curiosity, do these ever come up at the main importers and retailers? Seems like there's not a lot of chatter about them.
This Mosin food is pretty darned close to being back to pre-panic price!

Heavy ball?
Here are some pictures of the "rusty spam cans" I purchased from Aim Surplus during their Black Friday sale. These went pretty quickly. I rolled the dice to see if I got something OK. I got a crate and both cans look pretty much the same. I took pictures of the one with a little more obvious signs of rust. The crate did not come with an opener so I had to dig one out. It may be hard to see in the pictures, but the headstamp reads: "188 77"
I opened the paper wrapper that was nearest to the most rusted corner. I saw no signs of water damage on the internal cardboard or on the wrappers. I didn't see any signs of obvious corrosion on the rounds themselves.
