Here is a few picks of my 1925 Hex Izhevsk m91/30
this rifle started my Mosinitis with all matching numbers and in unissued condition. The guy at big 5 tried to keep this one for himself but i said nope its mine now. [/attachment] and look at the rifling on this bad boy I will be working on posting my other 4 mosins in the future

Looks like a pretty good one. 1925 just sounds like a good year.

Wow, look inside that barrel! Oh its going to be fun shooting that. Tell us how that goes please!

Very nice ex dragoon.

That is a nice rifle. I really like the '20s guns. I also have a '25 Izhevsk that is a fine rifle.

DAMN! I have a couple of NEW rifles that don;t look that clean!

Cool, I have a '25 ex-dragoon also. It's on an 1895 receiver.

That will get you a lot of attention at the shooting range. Congratulations on a fine purchase.

Very, very nice!!

very nice rifle. i want a hex also.

She's a beaut, Clark!

very nice 25,i have acouple somewhere in the safe.

Very nice rifle. It's especially nice to see such a clean bore. I bought all but one of mine sight unseen and it was a nice bonus having some with shiney barrels like this. Another nice rifle to add to the fray.

Looks good!

I've got a '26 myself. Kinda partial to 20's Mosins

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?

Maybe the older ones were used in the back areas to guard the Vodka and bread supplies. I would imagine the guys wanted as new as they could get out on the front lines.

Thanks everone for the great posts

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?

My '26 has the best bore of the bunch and is the most accurate. My '36 has and awesome bore too, but my '38 is a bit frosty and my m44 has def fired off quite a few rounds in its day
