What is the general consensus on the 91/30?

It is a gun that shoot bullets.
>>35029570
It's a gun AND a spear

And a boat oar

They were acceptable as a first gun when they were below the cost of any cheap new production gun and surplus ammo was cheap and plentiful. Now that both the ammo costs as much as new production ammo and the guns rival the cost of a new gun, you are better off with getting something else as a first gun.
They are ok guns as far as first or early pieces in a milsurp collection still.

And firewood.

It was a kickass deal when they were $100 and less and ammunition was next to free.

My 91/30 is a piece of shit that I can stab people with. My 91/59 carbine is lovely.

The age of nugget has long since past. They go for $250 at absolute best these days, more likely 300-400. Same as SKS, and same as SKS you will have to ask yourself: why not just get a low-tier AR?
Unless you really want a garbage milsurp to play with, avoid. And even if you do want cheap milsurp, not as a first gun, and not before owning an AR.

A fair rifle, but somewhat dated towards the end of its service life.
