Found a carbine today in a shop on consignment. It was marked "Russian 91/59" on the sales tag and on the receiver ring, it was stamped 1891/59 and it's in 7.62x54R caliber. It's in great condition and the bore is excellent. They wanted $125. It also has a short barrel, I would estimate around 18" long.
What is this gun? Is it a Mosin Nagant? Are these good guns? Is there non-corrosive surplus ammo for these?
What's the difference in this and what I've seen referenced as a 91/30, 91/39?
Also, did I pay too much for this thing?
Thanks for any help,
Steve
