I ordered a 91/30 Hex from AIM last week. Paid for handpicked best of 5.
Got it Monday and took it apart to clean and check things out.
Man, I have to say this refurbed Mosin looks like it came straight from the factory.
Barrel and tang dated 1925. All parts have matching STAMPED numbers, even the buttplate. Stock has refurb stamp and 18 inspection marks clearly visible. No dings or repairs.
Bore looks brand new. Crown is perfect, no dings and is not counterbored.
I ran 3 cleaning patches through it and the 3rd came out perfectly clean.
Just as a note, my other Mosin has been cleaned, and cleaned, and the patches still come out black.
This has to be the best $79 I've ever spent. I'll get pics of the complete rifle after I reassemble it. Meanwhile, here's a few pics of parts.
