I have wondered the same thing. You would think every rifle would have been needed and chances are Pre ww2 rifles would definitely be used in battle? Maybe luck of the draw and the owner(s) kept getting killed before getting a shot off?SA1911a1 wrote:I have a '24 and a '25 Izhevsk that both have new looking bores and very little wear on the metal or wood. They are both refurbs, but they appear to be minimally changed with most parts being pre-28.Why in the world would you folks guess that the really old rifles would have better bores than the war time and late pre-war guns. You reckon these rifle sat out the war for some reason?
