1920 Izhevsk Mosin built on a 1900 Tula receiver.

This is one of the rifles from a creat of Hex Mosins I picked up on one of my road trip back in 2011.
When Dan over at Dan's Ammo opened the creat, I saw this rifle and said it was the creat I wanted. He told me that he had some paperwork to do on the creat and would have it done in two days. When I went back his guys loaded up the creat in my truck and the rest is history.
I really like this rifle and it will stay in my collection.

That's a nice one, 1919-1922 Izhevsk mosins aren't the easiest rifles in the world to find.

I'm not that up on Mosins, is it a transitional M91 since 10 years later came the 91/30? I ask because it has a globe front sight intstead of the typical exposed blade.

The rifle would have been built as a dragoon rifle, with the blade sight and M91 style leaf rear sight.

Now, when it was refurbed, the rifle received the 91/30 sights, and is now what is known as an "ex-dragoon" 91/30.

Thanks for the explanation, now it makes sense to me.
