Yes... That stock looks very wide to me. 1930? Wonder if it is an ex Dragoon? Yes, need more pictures of this rifle.

On a side note, you need to go over to Amazon and pick up "The Mosin-Nagant Rifle" by Terence W. Lapin, 6th edition (the yellow book). This will give you a lot of information on the Mosin 3-line rifle, it's origins, it's use and manufacture in other countries and all of it's markings. Under $20.

Probably is an ex dragoon, I know both of my 1930 Tula's are. Nice rifle.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Nice '30 Tula! Mine was not an ex-dragoon, the reciever was made in '30 also.
