I'd been wanting a Remington or Westinghouse 91/30 conversion for a while and finally found a nice one. Matching numbers though force matched, nice markings and a good bore. It has the welded rear sight base and sleeved front sight that's typical for these. Neat rifle.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
I believe it is a Polish bolt body. The rest of the bolt parts are Soviet.

Very nice score racer, It's also a first see for me. Heard of em but not seen one, anyone have a ballpark figure on how many of these and the NEW 91/30's are know in the collectors circle?

I've been trying to keep track. There's about a half dozen each of Westinghouse Remington and Tula so far. Some have been posted here before. I'll dig up some links. I haven't seen a confirmed Izhevsk but that could be because they may be thought to just be an oddball ex dragoon.

Yeah. I need a Remington to go with the NEW. I remember seeing a Tula like these at the time I was bidding on something else, like 2012 when I was still in the states. Great addition!
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

The barrel was shortened to 91/30 length and the last few inches turned to a smaller diameter. A sleeve with the front sight base was slid on and tack welded. A 91/30 rear sight was installed and spot welded in place also.
