Why the RUSSIAN STATE FACTORIES M91/30 stands out

This listing represents a Certified Used example of the M91/30, offered at $569.99. The description highlights several specific details that matter to buyers: all matching numbers, the cleaning rod remains present, and the rifle is offered without a bayonet. Those details are the difference between a run-of-the-mill surplus piece and a shooter-worthy, historically consistent rifle.

Matching numbers and provenance

Matching numbers on a military surplus bolt action add to authenticity and long-term value. For collectors, matching serials indicate the stock, barrel, bolt and receiver have not been swapped indiscriminately. For shooters, matching parts often mean better mechanical harmony and predictable performance. The listing explicitly calls out “all matching numbers,” so you can expect the rifle to be assembled the way it left the factory or depot.

Included cleaning rod and missing bayonet — practical implications

The cleaning rod is included, which is a small but important sign of completeness for a military rifle. A retained cleaning rod shows the stock hasn’t been heavily altered and gives you a ready-made tool for maintenance. The absence of a bayonet reduces collector-level completeness but has little impact on range use; if you want the original bayonet, it’s something collectors can source separately. The product description clearly states “no bayonet,” so buyers know what to expect before purchase.

Performance, platform, and typical chambering

The listing does not explicitly state caliber in the product fields, so confirm details on the product page before buying. Historically, the M91/30 family is chambered in 7.62x54R — a longstanding cartridge with plenty of legacy ammunition and reloading components available. If the chambering is 7.62x54R for this rifle, you get a cartridge known for long-range capability and proven reliability in military bolt-action platforms. Always verify the caliber listed on the product page and inspect the barrel stamping if you can, or ask customer service for confirmation.

Bolt-action advantages

Bolt actions like the M91/30 deliver mechanical simplicity, strong lock-up, and ease of maintenance. For shooters who prioritize consistent accuracy with iron sights or optics, the bolt platform offers predictable bolt travel and a straightforward sight picture. In a certified used example, the bolt and extractor condition will often determine feeding reliability; this listing’s emphasis on matching components is a positive sign in that regard.

Certified Used status and buyer protections

The Certified Used designation means the rifle has been evaluated to meet standards described by the seller: very good to excellent condition and held to a high quality bar. This listing also highlights a ‘no questions asked’ return policy with Certified Used guns. For buyers, that return policy reduces risk — if the rifle doesn’t meet expectations once examined, you have a clear path to return it. That’s particularly valuable with historical firearms, where condition and matching parts are central to buyer satisfaction.

What to inspect on arrival

When your rifle arrives, verify the matching numbers across receiver, bolt, and barrel. Check bore condition for pitting or heavy wear, examine the stock for cracks, and run the bolt to feel for smooth operation. Since the listing notes the cleaning rod is present, make sure it is the correct length and original style; this small check helps confirm the rifle’s integrity. If you have any concerns, use the Certified Used return policy promptly.

Value and practical use cases

At $569.99, this RUSSIAN STATE FACTORIES M91/30 occupies a strong price point for shooters who want a historically significant bolt action that is ready for the range. For target work, occasional long-range practice, or as a well-preserved display piece, a certified used M91/30 offers tangible value. If you’re a collector seeking matching numbers without paying top-tier restored prices, this rifle is positioned to be an effective compromise.

Final buyer advice: confirm caliber on the product page, examine the supplied photos and contact the seller with any questions about matching numbers or bore condition, and take advantage of the Certified Used return policy if the rifle doesn’t meet expectations.
