Im not 100% sure im correct buuuttt It is a 1914 m91. I believe its a peter the great? Very nice condition. Only a couple of problems with it. 2 small drill holes in it from where someone displayed it... Sad really but not very noticeable. Something really cool is it looks as if the initials L E C are carved in the stock. Rather cool I think. Not matching as you can see. It is my first m91 though and it got it for a steal!
Question for yall as well the number stamped in the side of the receive what is the significance of that. I know on ex snipers what it is but idk on this one.

Nice number ten, The number on the receiver is a sort of import mark. They wanted a serial on the receiver in American fashion so the restamped it there.

Nice! The holes aren't noticable because I can't see them on my phone.
On Facebook? Check out the non-sporter preservationist group at: OOOPS. Deleted by Facebook because it's evil to even discuss collectible firearms on social media these days.
Hello, So, this is what all the chatter was about. If you don't mind me asking "what is a steal", just curious to the prices of an early tula M91. Oh, and "very nice" rifle I may add. It looks to still retain the original bluing .. "cool find". Very clean.

Looks like you got a beautiful "Balkan" that has not been scrubbed. The metal shims under the barrel bands are the indicator of "Balkan" use. The arsenal mark stamping is nice and sharp.
Ok ok... lol I guess I can tell yall what I paid for it..... drum roll please...... $140 cash
And here comes the horror story. The guy who sold it to me told me that this was about 2 hours from him chopping it down and making It into a sporter Im glad I saved the poor lass
