42 Izhevsk 91/30 Instructie

Post by Miller Tyme »

Scratch another of the list, picked myself up a very well worn Istructie 91/30. It is your typical well worn Romanian rifle but the bore, while dark, has surprisingly good rifling.

Now to find me a Dragoon to complete the set.

Outstanding example of a '42 complete with the expediente finish of tool chatter marks.

:thumbsup: Very nice Miller Tyme! Good luck with finding the Dragoon Instructie. The only Dragoon I've seen in person was an Instructie, at a local gunshow a year and a half ago. It was a wall hanger at best but it's the closest I've been to either a Dragoon or Instructie.

With the chatter marks did they (the machinist) use a machine rule or a pair of calipers to determine the width of the part.
