It's all matching, and the metal is 100 percent. All of it. Inside the chamber, inside the magazine, the follower, the interrupter, the trigger guard, the butt plate, you name it. It would have to be a pretty damn good refurb, and from having worked in an industry that refurbed wood and metal items for many years, Ive gotten pretty good at spotting them. Also, from what I hear unissued 91/30 aren't terribly uncommon....... It's just that I haven't seen one. Most of the ones I see have been ridden pretty hard.
Besides...... It's a Nagant. Nobody would go throught the trouble of making it appear factory new again. That would be like a ground up restoration on a factory stock Ford Pinto.
