39 Tula 91/30 & a great garage sale day
With the rise in prices on Mosin Nagant's one cannot pass up a sale just to at least look. Local retailer Fleet Farm was running a sale this week & since I was in the neighborhood I swung into the store just to see what they had available. First one I looked at was this one.... A 1939 Tula 91/30, Red lettering, refurb prefix matching in correct Tula Pre-war stock with accessories for $89.99. Hard to pass that up. The rest were typical refurbs so I opted for this... My second 39 Tula & 3rd 39 overall, but I see no harm in having a few duplicates.
Also hit some Garage sales with my beautiful bride to look for things for her.... Instead it was guy sale day everywhere we went. Got a retractable shop light for $5 & even the bulb worked! A set of 4 old pliers for $5 (Can never have enough & I love the old ones) & a bunch of Shotgun shell boxes (empty) for free & also some 16ga Shells for $5 each. He had a lot of 20 & 12 also but the 16ga are getting hard to find & at $5, it was a deal & I got every box. He even tossed in a half empty box for free.
Some Pictures on the day....
1939 Tula 91/30
Unknown Triangle 25 mark
And the Garage sale finds...
Free Empties!!
5 1/2 boxes of 16ga... 2 boxes are custom 2 1/2" lite loads & of course a complete old box of Winchester
$10 for the lot
Also got my wife some wicker baskets, new scrapbook & a few other misc. items. A really fun day.

Wow nice rifles! And looks like you had a good day at the garage sales
Let me make a short, open, blanket comment. There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a descent person is no threat to anyone--- except bad people. -- Charleton Heston
Guns are not good, they are not evil. Save those descriptions for the people holding the firearm. -- Unknown

1937 Izhevsk
1935/48/50 Tula (hex)
1939 Tula (laminate stock)
And many other firearms

Dang Rongo, that's a nice 91/30 I like the impression the star left on the wood under the tang. Nice repair at the nose also.

Re: 39 Tula 91/30 & a great garage sale day
Remember what happened to me and the 1939 Tula? First I buy a 1939 Tula because I don't have that date, then I find a DDR marked rifle that I must have and it's also a '39 Tula, then I find a MO marked rifle and I must have an MO for the collection and again it's a '39 Tula, then comes the sale Chris at Trinity was running, Mosins for $55, I told him to send them, one was a hex, two more were 1943 Izhevsk and the last of course was a '39 Tula. That is a nice one, and I probably would have grabbed it also, the shotshells were a great deal, but that shop light is a good one. USA made Cordomatic, looks to be late 60's vintage, not some Chinese made piece of shit, I would have grabbed that so fast it would look like it simply vanished

Yeah... I saw that shoplight & snagged it right up. Already have it mounted to the ceiling in the garage & was using it this afternoon under the old Ford Truck. I love that light.

The new ones fall apart in a few weeks, total crap.

She had fun as well.... I got her some nice baskets, a brand new scrapbook for $2 & some other misc. things at the sales. Also took her to lunch, the Apple Orchard & then a movie in the evening. It was a really fun day for the both of us.rem223 wrote:Very nice pickup. I like that rifle... It sounds like your wife did not have as fun a day as you did though.

Re: 39 Tula 91/30 & a great garage sale day
Nice Haul Ron. What kind of 16 ga do you have?
Re: 39 Tula 91/30 & a great garage sale day
I noticed you said with "red" number or letters on the rear sights? Is this something unique or just something the importer did. I have two rifles like that and thought maybe the guy issued the rifle did it. But nice fine though and garage sales are great for finding reloading supplies and tools...
Re: 39 Tula 91/30 & a great garage sale day
Not the importer or the last guy. It was done at refurb by one of the arsenals doing the refurbs.

Good deal Ron. I have a couple of '39's also. This area is alive with garage sales. I never see anything but baby clothes. I keep trying though.
