Hello All, I am new to the forum. I am trying to get confirmation and a value range for a rifle I previously purchased. I belive it's a 1922 Izhevsk Dragoon version of the model 1891. As far as I can tell all the parts are matching (I know for sure the barrel and bolt match and i dont remember seeing any non matching parts) with a hex receiver. I have attached the photos I have on my phone but let me know if there is so.ething else you need.
Thanks

It is an ex dragoon updated to 91/30 specs. It is also refurbished. The parts would have been renumbered to match the barrel serial number at that time. It looks like a nice example.

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.

Thanks for the info. Based on the info would it be reasonable for it to be worth $400-500ish?
Re: Identification confirmation and value
That sounds reasonable. The older hex receivers are more desirable, I would say.

Re: Identification confirmation and value
Your rifle was also built using an older recycled Imperial era receiver. You can see an imperial eagle under the Izhevsk crest on the top receiver flat. That was pretty common in the early 20's
