This is my 4th MN. The others have all gone to friends. Not that they weren't good, but for some reason I just never held onto them. One was a 1939 Tula, the rest were 1943 Izzy's. All were round receiver, and all had the very short LOP. I kept the Tula the longest.
And here's the difference.
This latest one is a 1932 Tula hex receiver, my first hex. But imagine my surprise when it actually felt right when shouldered! By that I mean the LOP was very near perfect.
I've measured the others, and they were all in the 12-12.5" range.
This one measures 13.25". In all other respects it's a standard M91/30.
Has anyone ever run across one with a longer LOP like this one has, and does it signify anything?
Pretty sure this one is the one I'll be keeping. It's in very fine condition.
