In rare cases, it is possible to find an M28/30 with an M28 serial number. Individual members of the civil Guard could pay to send in their M28 rifles to be rebuilt to the M28/30 standard. Such rifles are exceedingly rare and are officially referred to as the M28-28/30. Collector's Comments and Feedback: 1. Relatively few M28's exist today. Actions like these were proving that carbine length arms such as the model 1938 (karabin obrazets 1938 goda in phonetic Russian) and the M1907 Mosin Nagant carbine were much better suited to the ensuing street to street and house to house fighting which was characterizing this urban warfare.
