FOUND

[S.S.]

Sumptin' innerstin' at the pawn shop today.

It appears at a distance to be a Finnish Model 1927
Nagant rebuild, But up close it has SWISS proofmarks!
I know that the Finns rebuilt thousands of Nagants
But from all info I can find they did it in their own
factories. I know that SIG (Swiss) made several thousand
M1891 three line rifles for the Russians, (I have one)
but I think that was all they made. It does not appear
to be a pieced together rifle because of matching numbers.

I'm a little baffled by this one

Nice find!! The only odd one I have ever seen and didn't buy was the M28 Ski troop mosin the one with the double sling slot in the butt.  After I found out what it was i went back and it was gone. There was another one there but the butt was cracked and screwed very poorly repaired plus it looked like it was under the snow for quite some time "rusted/pitted' inside and out. But I still look at then just incase there rare.  These are tough to find and the market is flooded with the average mosins. But I did get my hands on a hex reciever M91/30 at a spring gun show.  Besides seeing the hex's on the M39's most of the 91's are round recievers. The hex recievers are older mosins.                                 BigBill

Its tough to pass up mosins too??
