I have a 1930 1891/30 hex receiver Mosin-Nagant, made in Tula. It's a typical FrankenNagant - barrel/receiver was forged in 1929, but assembled in 1930 in Tula, however it has a Izvesk post-1928 bolt, and an Izvehsk pre-1928 firing pin ;-)

The serial number is 2080 (in 3 out of 4 places, mag bottom was replaced).

Is it really the case that out of 37-odd million of these rifles made, mine was one of the first few thousands to roll off the line? I find this hard to believe.

(2080 is the original Russianicon number...there's a modern importer's serial number on the barrel and that's not what I'm referring to).
