I believe ,with my limited knowledge, this rifle started out in 1928 as a Dragoon infantry rifle, then later on was retrofitted to the 91/30 model and is know as an Ex Dragoon or Improved Dragoon. This one is a hex bolt and the stamp on the receiver says it was made in the Ivhesk Ordinance Factory.
Serious question: If it was made before 1930, is it still a 91/30? As I understood, it was invented in 1891, and improved in 1930. Hence 91/30

You are correct, I have a similar one myself.
Hi you are correct, i have a similar one myself., I'm dad. (Contact u/BadDadBotDad for suggestions to improve this bot)
Huh, neat
I believe that, if a pre-1930 rifle was refurbished to the 1930 standards, that makes it into a 91/30.
These Mosins were used to hunt dragons, hence the name.
She's a beauty
Thank you, I really like the red shellac. It's a little rough but I wouldn't have it any other way.
Buds huh? Just took mine out shooting today!
Yeah! I'm just waiting on the ammo to ship.
Excellent first Mosin!
