The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

The seller was looking for words to fill the item description but lacked the knowledge to do it properly. It's a Soviet M91/30 rifle captured by the Finns in either the Winter or Continuation war. They upgraded the stock with a nice Finn two piece, added the sling rings, and Finn matched the bolt . Very nice example of the type

I like it!

I personaly like the captures a lot. They have as close to verified combat experience as you can get excepting a papered bringback. Nice one. Is this the one with the 41 mark or is that the other one.

One of these days I will be able to start a thread titled "My First Finn". But until then I will over other peoples Finnish captures. Nice Mosin, congratulations on your purchase.

It must be ...uhm ...some other rifle then No what I am referring to is the 41 capture mark on the right side of the shank of the captures for the year 1941. For some reason they marked the later captures with that mark. This mar helps identify it from an earlier capture and also gives it added known (possibly) history.

YEP, that's it. You got the one rifle pretty fast.

Nice! A Finn rifle is next on my list....
