I've been looking at m91s for a while and saw this on GB placed a bid and went to bed. Woke up the next morning and now I'm an onset of an m91. What do you guys think? A good price? I think I got a deal most dealers have the 91/30s at this price in my area.

You got a great deal some places are charging more than that for a 91/30 sweet job I'm surprised nobody else bid on it

Re: Bought an m91
Nice catch. I am always looking for M91's around that price, as you can always see them listed for $285 and up. Prof

Re: Bought an m91
You got a nice "Balkan" M91. I can't see the date but it is a Tula Peter the Great year and a good one to have. The stock and handguard are worth more than what you paid. And then, M91 cleaning rods go for $60 - $100.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.

Re: Bought an m91
A good Peter The Great Tula M91 with what looks to be a good bore, has cleaning rod & hand guard for the price of a 91/30. A very good deal.

Re: Bought an m91
This was the second time this auction was listed, no bids the first time. I was stunned it was up for so long with no bids. Congrats, you got it at a great price.

Re: Bought an m91
I'm always hesitant when I think I find a deal on GB. Especially if I'm not to familiar with what I'm looking at and if no one had been bid on it.

Re: Bought an m91
I don't know if the splits in the handguard scared off your competition, but you got a good buy. Congratulations on a nice m91. I really like the looks of this one.
Re: Bought an m91
I can't wait to get this rifle. I've never fired or held an m91. I'm not sure if I've seen one in person, if I did I didn't have any interest in it at that point. I'm pretty pumped! You guys got me all fired up!

Re: Bought an m91
I was watching that one myself. I'm glad you got it, though. Nice first m91. (I say first because you will want more now.)

Re: Bought an m91
Dont forget that the bands' screws turn opposite of normal to loosen them. It's easy to forget that on your first m91.
