What is my 1938 all original, stamped, matching numbers, "Tula" 91/30 worth?
I paid USD $100 for it. I know it is at least worth that, maybe with all matching numbers and the fact that it is in exceptional condition might bring its value closer to $200. Includes a matching number bayonet, sling, ammo pouches, toolkit, cleaning rod, and double-spouted oil canister. For reference, the matching parts are:
Receiver (round)
Bolt
Buttplate
Floorplate
Bayonet
The bore is shiny and the rifling is deep, but the crown is worn to the point where the landings are not sharp. I do not know if they are normally visible by looking down the muzzle but they are not in this case, leading me to describe them as "worn". No pitting what-so-ever. The finish is in good condition as well, but you can see fingertip wear on the handguard. I have read nearly every page on 7.62x54r.net but they don't have dollar values anywhere except their forum, but I'm a fan of yahoo. Thanks guys!
The book value of a reworked 91/30 is $125. in excellent, $100. in very good, according to the Standard Catalog of Military Firearms 5th Edition.
Make no mistake, you have what is known as a rework. It was refinished after service use- maybe even 6 months ago. These are what you currently see for sale with the sling, bayonet, and cleaning kit at every gun store in town. Matching numbers aren't uncommon, I have three and they all match. Neither are Tula built rifles uncommon.
The 91/30 is literally a dime a million. Over 17,000,000 were produced between 1930 and 1944. It's worth what you paid for it, no more, no less.
