Thanks for the kudos, I was very happy to acquire it. All parts are 02 marked - Bolt body, head, cocking knob, rear sight base, spring and slider, and both barrel bands.
4/17/2021 - Checked it this morning, nosecap and cleaning rod are also 02 marked, added more photos.
Beautiful 91/30. Fit and finish is excellent, and goes so well with the stock. Don't see these often. Enjoyed the post. If the bore is as fine as the rest of her, that's close to perfect. Thanks for sharing.
Bore is bright and shiny, no pitting or frost, and no counterbore. Lands show only a slight rounding from normal use. Better than many other Mosin-Nagants I've seen and owned.
Haven't had the chance to try it out, windy weekend up here and recovering from being extremely sick for 3 days last week. That wiped me out so have been resting up. Glad to hear you're doing OK and taking care of mom.
I was surprised to see it on Gunbroker and decided to pursue it. I'm surprised it didn't go for more, I was prepared to bid higher if necessary. The other bidder never had a chance... LOL!
Has anyone got an example of a Hungarian bayonet for these rifles? I've never seen photos of one but would assume they are also "02" marked? Photos or a link would be appreciated.
Here's mine, I found it a few years ago in a "bargain bin" at a small shop in western PA. I have no idea if the scabbard is correct or not, it looks like one of the repro's sold online.
Thanks, Denny! That's me in my Dress Blues back in 1981. A friend of mine said my previous avatar was old and needed updating, so I posted an even OLDER photo.
I have a Hungarian bayonet but like most I have seen it went through a Soviet refurb and was force matched to a Soviet 91/30. I found the bayo on its own with no rifle, Soviet or Hungarian, paired up with it.
You have Hungary's copy of the M44 carbine, much more common than the 91/30 length rifle but still cool!
