One you won't see everyday.

I'm in my local fun shop the other day, looking for Enfields, Mausers, etc..and I spot what at first glance looks like a standard M38 Mosin. Almost didn't give it a second thought, but the blonde wood suggested 91/59. So I pick it up.........
Almost dropped it when I realized what it was. A Czech '91/38' rework. So these are scarce enough. The icing on the cake is that this carbine started life as a 1909 Izhevsk Cossack rifle (Ka3 marking)!
For those unfamiliar, a '91/38' is a carbine conversion that was done in Czechoslovakia in the 1950s to early M91 Mosin rifles. Not very common, and Cossack marked Mosins are extremely scarce. This is a Mosin variant you won't run into every day!

Nice find! I'm guessing the LGS didn't know what they had exactly.

 

[enfieldguy]

They did not.

Nice score. It definitely pays to inspect every rifle. I found a 1945 hex Izzy M44, and two Finish 91/30 mosin nagants , one a reworked 1941 Izzy and the other a 1944 rebarreled Tika hex reciever at my LGS this week. Also scored a Springfield Trapdoor 1884.

Haha yeah makes you wonder what other deals they may have which they don't know about.

A very good find. It is hard to beat a good gun store.
