Back in November of 2015, after 6 months of saving, I bought a 1940 Izhevsk 91/30 round receiver, for $325. Bore is in excellent condition, very little cosmoline. Numbers matching. Came with the dog collar sling and a clip carrier that was made in 1986. Bolt is very smooth, just a little tough to close with cartridges. I was able to get to the range the next month, and the only problem I had was on the 40th round, the notorious "Sticky Bolt Syndrome". I simply pulled back the cocking knob, and opened right up. Overall it's a very sound rifle. There are some black spots on the barrel, what looks to be like model paint, I guess to cover up some bluing loss.
