I think you're talking about the one I bought. I also thought the picture was too blurry and it almost looked like too much had been scrubbed. But for $240 with no FFL I thought I might as well take a risk.

Pics?

 

[PrayingMantis]

Let us know how this turns out. I asked the guy for more (and better) pics. He sent two more that were just as blurry, but it was a '98 Tula.

See if this is the one...

Too bad those are also blurry. I think I can make out the Tula stamp a little better though, maybe wishful thinking. At least it has a rod.

Pics?

As soon as it arrives I'll take some and post them. Hopefully since theres no FFL involved it will be a little quicker...

Is that an AZF mark on the receiver? Can't find the Z mark either.

Looks like a promising piece. Look forward to the pics!

I just bought an 1896 Tula Finn Captured and it sure was nice having it come straight to the door.

Jeez.......... $600??
I had my alll original stamped matching Tula (except for the scrubbed buttplate!!)up on the trader for $235 and didn't get a single nibble.Mine had a heck of a lot less metal finish but my stock looked better!
Time to put it on GB........

I guess GunBroker has taken the title of "The New Crack" from e-bay

especially when you see what some of the Yugo M70AB2's have gone for and what they're presently posted for.

Makes me wonder how much this one is worth! Of course, it has that nasty [SA] marking on it and a little less bluing...

And the spoiler --

The importer-added serial number screams "Finn import" to me, though I haven't been in the game for 25 years.

I never thought I'd see a non-sniper 91/30 go for anything close to that. Must have been a fluke. If not, a few original-matching 91/30s might just be going up on the auction site...

Must have been a "Fluke".
Obama got elected. That was a "Fluke" too.

Good grief! Did the seller use a dirty fishbowl as a camera lens?

 

[Pahtu]

Skywarp, now that is a M91-30. Really nice. Is that a snowflake on the handguard? if so.....nifty!!

Pahtu.

 

[jaz5833]

I'm speechless. I can walk out of the local store with five former dragoons for that. No Finn, no SCW? What gives?

Nice pictures is what gives. Some folks are suckers for really good pictures!

 

[HepCat]

Yeah, what is the snowflake? a decal?

Unit marking. Ski Recon, 5th Motor Regiment.

 

[skywarp]

lol! no, it just happened to be snowing when I was taking the pics and that one landed perfectly on the handgaurd, so I hit "macro mode" and went for it.

Only thing I see 'wrong' is unnumbered floorplate. If you want toi call that wrong. It appears several guys thought it close enough to qualify for all original matching. Everyone make a note and let's see how long until you get another shot at an all original matching 91/30........
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't have gone that high, either. What it shows is the existing desire & appreciation out there for such rifles.

+1 That is one of the nicest 91/30 I have seen, if it had not been for the floorplate and the fact that it was made at Tula, I would have glady paid the $600.00 and more for such a rifle.
