91/59
« on: June 30, 2012, 04:13:59 PM »
Stopped by a pawn shop today that I've never caught open before. See a mosin carbine on the rack.  91/59 for $175 otd. Grabbed it and ran.  Tula1939.  Pretty dang good shape, except so
somebody stripped the stock.  Think i will go back with BLO.  Pretty tickled. All Tula parts and all matching.

Nice score!!!

Look closely at the stock, as they were stripped when they were converted to 91/59.

Isn't that a little steep in the price? I thought they were going for 100-125? Then again it's been awhile since I checked. To me it sounds like buying  an SKS for 700 bux. 175 a good price now? Thoughts?

Nice snag! You will be pleased.  :)

All the 91/59 stocks I've seen looked stripped with a sort of a (on the gloss side) satin finish applied.

This one is stripped, little bit of finish left in corners and crevises.    I myself have never seen one for less than $225, but have never seen too many.   I'm going to remove the rest of the finish and apply several coats of BLO. Would not alter but this one already was.  I will get it protected and serviceable.  The grain in the wood is nice and straight. Looking forward to how it turns out.  I will post pics.

You got a steal on that one. They bring good money. I had one and was offered 400 for it but traded it for a NIB Glock

$200 is what I got for mine last week. It's a neat rifle but I need to adopt some of my collection out.

He did really good on the price, very fair, discounted for the sanded stock (if it was sanded).  Most M91/59s have blondish colored stocks, not the refurb reddish color.  Don't refinish unless you are sure.  Here's data for recent M91/59 sales.
