I finally got were I could collect again and decided to pick out a rifle I ended up choosing this. My wife and I went to the Raleigh gun show and had a blast. Well that's enough talking i'm just happy to be back! Here's the link the photos are to large for the forum.

Real nice, I have a soft spot for the captured 91-30s....The bayonets that fit this rifle....are worth every penny if you can find one....

I know what you mean. I picked up a rifle like yours for $150 and paid $350 for the Panshin bayonet. I like to think it was worth it.
