Hex Receiver 1938 Date Mosin Nagant?

[Doug S]

A local shop has a hex received Mosin Nagant 91/30 dated 1938. From what I've read the hex receivers were only used until 1935. Would one marked 1938 be considered "rare"?

Thanks for any info.

Probably re-arsenaled and re-barreled in 1938. Look under the rear tang for the date the receiver was made.

Maybe a converted dragoon.
