Tula m91 Marking info help

[backstrap]

Any information on what i have and value would be greatly appreciated before i sand blast and duracoat.. Thanks in advanve.

I wouldn't sand blast and dura coat. What you have there is a model 91 not a 91/30 which is more common. On top of that it is a Fin capture which adds a little more value.

I would put it at around 250. Also it`s Tula manufacture.

But hay it`s your gun to do with what you want.

Please sell it before you sandblast it.

So a fin captured m91? Value around $250? Is that buy or sale price?

Backstrap, PM inbound.

[diggersdarling]

Just sent you a PM. Call me when you can and I will explain that rifle to you.

[OHOD]

Duracoat it.

[mosinnagantm9130]

$250-$300. Not one should be messed with IMO.

I got her taken apart and the media in the blaster was wet, anyone have a good color idea for dura coat? I have a black synthetic stock Ima fit it into. Im also gonna cut the barrel down.

Personally, I think ceracoting it in Gen II Desert Sage would be best.

I have to ask though - you're trolling, right?

What you have is a Tula manufactured M91 Finnish capture, in what appears to be pretty decent condition (how's the bore?), except for that repair on the stock. It'll bring you anywhere around $200-300 (or about $70-100 when duracoated, although it might take some time to sell), possibly more, although unlikely. You never know, people pay stupid prices sometimes, if they really want something. If you're really serious about duracoating it and not just trolling, sell it to me first, buy a cheap 91/30, duracoat it, and use the extra money for a hacksaw, airbrush, ATI stock, and a clip-on muzzle break

Of course he is. Good joke.

this is nice collectable rifle, do not destroy it, you can get something more common and less expensive with better barrel, trade it to 91/30
if you really gonna kill this rifle, I would like to buy all parts left after it - barrel bands, cleaning rod, handguard and stock

Of course he is. Good joke.

Since when do you trust in the best in humankind?

Of course he is. Good joke.

If this is a good joke, I must have lost my sense of humor.

In regards to the OP, I really don't get where the humor is in these posts that pop up a few times a week threatening to destroy a nice old historic battle rifle. Is trolling really that much fun?
