M91 SCW 1898 Sestroryetsk

[neal45]

We don't see a lot of SCW M91s even though according to Howson's Arms for Spain, 104,630 M91s were sent from the USSR in comparison to 112,050 91/30s.

Anyway, this one has the Made in USSR SCW identifying mark but no other obvious features (to me) like handguard, sights, or sling swivels. Parts have been mixed a bit on this one too.
