Yesterday's Weapons Forums

Here is one that I picked up recently:

What I thought was nice about it, was that a lot of it was matching to include the stock, barrel bands, nose cap, cleaning rod and the butt plate. The bolt is force matched and the mag well is too.

What is force matched? I am afraid to ask.

They fitted another bolt to it and placed the serial number of the receiver on it. Its not the orignal bolt.

...I wouldnt complain.... ...she's a beauty... ..M91's-especially Finns-have become my latest favorite firearm obsession to collect... ....just waiting for things to ease up on the wallet ...am willing to take in orphans...

The bore on this one is a bit dark but not pitted. It is also not import marked which means Sam Cummings of Interarmco most likely imported this gun some years back from Finland.

What I think is really neat about these Finn capture guns is how well the Finns took care of them. The markings on this one is so sharp and clean.

Very very very nice

nice rifle , congrats

Hey Gunny

Very nice Mosin. I have a couple and have the sickness, so always looking for one calling my name. I was just wondering how do you tella Dragoon from a 91 or a 91/30? I do know the lengh is differant but I was wondering if there is another way?
I hate to run around Gun Shows and Pawn shops measuring old rifles, somebody might think I need group therapt.

I have been down to Oregon and they have some great guns lurking around their pawn shops. I live north of you by Tacoma, Washington.

I love that the Finn's Stamped the SA over the Izhevsk bow and arrow!!
