2 birds with one stone.

Post by VKT1941 »

So today I found two mosins and for the price I couldn't pass it up! First is 1917 Remington m91 Finn captured the stock has been refinished :cry: but for a $100 I still thought it was worth it. :D Secondly is a 1915 high serial numbered NEW it's missing the top hand guard but again for $100 another one I couldn't pass up it has some neat placements of the SA markings! :D I have one question on the NEW what does the oval with LT with two 1's under that mean it's in the picture of the barrel shank?

Good price on both, I can't make out the mark , but I don't recall if we know what it means, most markings on these are unknown. Triple SA marked, nice, Bubba finish or not, any M91 for $100 is a steal, if it's FInn marked that goes double.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

I believe that mark is a German capture mark. Great prices even with the stock issues.

http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinMarks03.htm See row 16, column A - does that mean German airforce...? Real interesting mark on a steal of a deal. Congrats!
