M91 NEW to me...

[No_0ne]

My first Mosin, first milsurp.  A WWI era Russian battle rifle manufactured in the US, used by the Finnish army (against the Red army in WWII ?), then imported back into the US.

 

 

I think it's cool...

Cool old rifles. I've never been in to collecting these, however I bought one late last year for $159. Was in excellent shape, had a bayonet, sling and ammo pouch with it. How well do they shoot?

Im working to restore a very similar M91 Fin. I wonder if you might take some better pictures if and when you have the time. I'd be interested in seeing the barrel bands and the end of the stock. Great score!!

I will be glad to take more detailed pics, but I have to borrow a better camera (and maybe a better photographer) first.  It has the type 2 barrel bands, front is NEW marked, haven't removed the rear yet to see.  Front band screw retainer is missing, rear is complete but is right-hand threaded (maybe it's US made?) as opposed to Russian left-hand threads.  Only visible cartouche or mark I can see on the buttstock is a Finn maker's mark, buttplate is badly scratched and scrubbed from what I can see.  PM me for specific pic needs and I will try to get you what you need.
