Let me make a short, open, blanket comment. There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a descent person is no threat to anyone--- except bad people. -- Charleton Heston

Guns are not good, they are not evil. Save those descriptions for the people holding the firearm. -- Unknown

1943 Izhevsk
1937 Izhevsk
1935/48/50 Tula (hex)
1939 Tula (laminate stock)
And many other firearms :D

The prefix's were purposely jumbled to not let the enemy know how many were being produced. It will be interesting to see what this looks like. Good Luck! If everyone reponds to this I am afraid you be over whelmed! Bill :o

I just found 1938 Ishevsk M19/30 with matching alpha serial numbers (AL1738) in excellent condition. The "L" is upside down and facing to the left on the rifle, but of course an English keyboard will not delicate it. I think this is a little rare and indicates it wasn't refurbished, right? Thank you for your input and advise about treating this rifle in any special regard. ...I have an excellent (refurbished) M44 that is my "shooter".

TT | M38 | Izhevsk '43
фл | M91/30 Pu Sniper | Izhevsk '44

Now for the weird one

Would it be A0 then 18 or just A and then 018 for the rest? I feel like its an odd serial for a wartime.
