Cruised into Big 5 today while Christmas shopping. One laminated 91/30 on the rack so I check it out. Yup, it is an Izhevsk ex-sniper with all original matching numbers. Scope serial number has been ground.

Price is $209 and the manager won't budge on the price, so its still there for anyone interested.

At $209 only a fool would buy it! Wait a week and it will go on sale. Is it a '42 with a ground off serial number?

What was the year of manufacture?

Sorry guys, don't remember the year... will look again next time I'm in town.

Salesman looked to see if there was a 91/30 sale coming up and said he did not see anything soon.

Went back today to check the year: 1943

A salesman who I have bought rifles from before made me an offer: buy a regular 91/30 on sale ($89) and he would give me the ex-sniper for the sale price of $100. So with locks, tax, and DROS it was $251 out the door for both rifles. It is my first 91/30 with a laminated stock...

Not a great deal considering that there were six 91/30s (5 hex, 1 ex-PU) from J&G sitting on the front porch when I got home.

Its just a disease, right?
