Wideners has MN 9130's Rnd rcvr $115 w/accessories

[Arcamm]

Part of the arsenal refurb is to brush on more shellac onto the stock.
Pre war, wartime or post war stock?

What is your plan to degunk the barrel? There is likely gonna be more gunk in the barrel that you won't believe.

I don't know how to tell what period a stock is from. What do I look for?

On the barrel, I've poured boiling water down it, dried it and ran some oiled patches down it until they came out clean and dry.

I was going to hit it with some bore cleaner next, but I have to go buy some.

I'm open for suggestions on the barrel and anything else as well. I appreciate the help.

Look at the Sling slots.
Most of them will be Late/Post war though.

Here's the front and rear. Front has sheet metal insert on the bottom of the slot and the rear is bear wood.

wartime rifle metal with wartime stock. What's not to like?

This makes me happy happy happy!

I just have never had the urge to get a MN. Maybe I have a small dick and shriveled testicles, but just don't feel the love like some of the MN addicts.....

Ever hear of the expression "TMI"?

Got one all cleaned up. I thought it was the uglier if the two but now I'm not too sure. I may end up having to sell one, but man they are pretty!

Congrats guys!

My first C&R and first Mosin arrives today! I will try to get pics up as soon as I can. I ordered this on 7/21.

FYI, when you guys are ready to shoot. They often shoot high with the Russian Surplus. Shoot at 50 yards just to get on paper and go from there. I think my first ones shot 6-10in high at 100 yds and that was with a 6 oclock hold on a 5 1/2" Shoot N C.

shrink wrap trick worked for that till I got a taller post.

Looking forward to more pics.

Ok had time to clean it off a bit and take some pics for you guys! Looks pretty similar to Arcamm's rifle.

It's stamped 1943r and the Barrel, Bolt, Stock, and the base of the Magazine all have matching numbers. Based on the prev post, the stock looks to be wartime with metal on the bottom of the fore-grip and nothing on the stock. The seal on the stock is barely visible which is unfortunate. Not sure what else to look for yet, but I am learning.

Wow, looks nice. I have no more 91/30s, and now ya got me missing them.

I am picking up a MN today (my first) and need info on where to buy ammo - best price is high priority.
I am looking forward (maybe) to getting the cosmo removed from the stock and metals. I think I will try the "black bag" method for the stock and mineral spirits for the metal. Any helpfull tips would be appreciated.

 

[yellowsled]

Just got a email from SOG. They have them in stock too. Same price i think.

Happy hunting

I've been happy with pistol's from Wideners. Do you think SOG would be better? Also, if I bought 3 from SOG, do you think I should do the hand select or save the $30 bucks and hope for the best?

Right now AIM Surplus has it for $90 per 440 spam can. Expect about $18-20 in shipping:

I would get myself on the various vendor "notify me" lists so when it is in stock you get an email. Sometimes Sportsman's Guide has decent deals on surplus spam cans because you can find online codes for free shipping. Also, it does pay off to become a member. Find someone to refer you and you both get codes for $15 off.

I'm not up-to-date in the latest refurbs, but do I see some scope numbers on the side of this Izhevsk?

You may be right... Open up the receiver. Post pics of the inside wall.

Are there numbers on the side of the receiver?

 

[Machodoc]

BDO in King George, VA has some nice ones on the rack. They are higher priced than these were, but when you figure in shipping and a "hand select" fee that allows you to pick the one that you want (or not be committed to buy, if you don't like), the price is very reasonable. Same accessories. All rounds, but some early rounds and some with brass guard caps. There may be one Tula left. All that I saw today were matching numbers without electro-pencil. One of them had to follow me home.

 

[NateIU10]

I'm going to re-ask my question from earlier in this thread. One of my Widener's 91/30s looks brand new. However, the receiver is numbered "9###" but all the other parts are numbered "8###". Is this a matching numbers gun that was rearsenalled and someone messed up the stamp for the other parts? I found it odd that all the numbers match but is one off from the receiver.
