I just received 91/30 with a 1939 stamp on the receiver. I spent yesterday and today cleaning and wiping and it looks fantastic. I stripped it down completely. Disassembled the bolt, the magazine, the trigger etc. It was what I did not see that has me confused. I saw absolutely no signs of wear. No scratches or dings on the stock. The bolt and firing pin look pristine. No marks on the magazine or magazine follower
I have 2 M1s so I am some what familiar with what to expect with a firearm of that age. I do not know alot about Mosins' is it possible that this rifle was manufactured, put into a crate and never issued? Does not seem likely as 1939 was very early in the war.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas here are the pictures of my new 91/30 from XXXXXXXXXXXX. Still have some cosmo clean any way take a look and tell me what you think.
