found a Mosin rifle in local shop that is stamped made in USSR on receiver (an indicator that used in Spain during their civil war). It has a bladed front sight (like an M91) and is dated Tula 1936.

However the stock doesnt look like a normal Mosin stock.

Are there any other ways of telling if it was sent to Spain, is the sight and stamped Made in USSR correct. Any photos on like that I could see and compare.

Any information on what to look for will be greatly appreciated.

Probably a Spanish replacement stock. Pictures of an M91 of mine with a Spanish stock can be found in this thread. http://forums.gunboards.com/showthread.php?t=6631

I will have to take another look at it tomorrow. The stock still doesnt look the same, it looks shorter, like they took a Mosin stock and shortened it. Still has the slots in the stock for a sling. Stock is blonde in collor and goes about half way up the barrel. So I am pretty sure it is a bad attempt of sporterizing a 91/30 stock.

Still if this is correct I dont know if it is still work it. Believe the cleaning rod is missing too. the guy at the shop is asking $99. What you you think?

That is not correct, a Spanish stock would be the same basic pattern as an original. The "Made in USSR" stamp and the incorrect front sight are typical of SCW M91/30s. I guess it might be worth it, but I wouldn't buy it considering I have 3 already.

One thing to look for is no metal on the endcaps of the handguard. Just the rivits like on an M91.

Found this goofy stock on a SCW M91/30. Those rifles must have been very cheap at some point and this guy had plenty of extra time on his hands. It is no longer degrading the rifle. DDR

military buff, See if the shop will take less, and then get a new stock for it. Depending on the condition of the metal, it could be a cool project rifle. Denny

Give a man a hammer and chisel and theres no telling what you will get.

I've seen some big checkering before but never quite THAT big!

How are you ever going to get to 600 guns with an attitude like that?

I'm concentrating on DDR marked refurbs at the moment.

 

[DudleyDR]

Send them to me and I will mark them! DDR
