What is your WWII favorite rifle?

91/30 1941 Izzy is my favorite, very accurate.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Hi waterdog !
I agree with you. I got a 91/30 captured and re-worked by the Finns: it's very accurate.

I got to go with the 91/30 as well, although the 03 Springfield is a very close second. Mine's also a '41 Izzy, an arsenal refinish. It's fun to shoot, recoil is mild, and I'm not worried about ever breaking it or being unable to find (and afford) parts.

Hello! I always said M91/30 is fun to shoot. You're lucky your baby has a mild recoil, mine kicks like a mule! Anyway I enjoy she, is a pleasure to be at the range together

What country maks the Izzy? I can't find it in my Guns of the world.

**vigilantus** · 10-18-2010 08:00 PM

Izzy is just short for Izhevsk, it refers to the arsenal of manufacture for a number of different soviet or tsarist era guns. People just tend to say izzy because nobody can ever remember how to spell or pronounce Izhevsk. I've got an izzy mosin 91/30, some people have izzy nagant revolvers, izzy sks's, izzy ak's, etc.

Hello MJ ! I apologize to be late, yes "Izzy" is short form for Izhevsk. My M91/30 too is a "Izzy" product, very accurate.

Hello!

I agree.
Sometimes I fly with fantasy and I imagine an M91/30 semi-automatic, like the M1 icon

Garand....

...what a rifle!....
