The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

I needed a Russian M91 to keep my Finn M91 company. None of the numbers match and she's made up of a mix of Tula and Izhevsk parts. The bolt has a number stamped on the knob Finn style. There is a shim under the trigger guard but it looks rather modern. The barrel and receiver have been with the stock a long time as there are clear impressions left from the wood to metal contact. The barrel shank markings have been only lightly scrubbed. The front barrel band has a shim and the rear barrel band has the pins. The only marks on the stock are two pine cones and what looks like a Russian "D". There is a mark under the butt plate that I could not find a reference for and the butt plate has a stamp as well. The stock is not birch and looks a lot like the nutwood on my Finn M91. Any comments and observations would be most welcome.

Here's some photos.

Very nice

SWEEEET

Those old 1891's are great, wish there were some in my area. Yours Sir, is an excellent example!

Semper Fi, Rob.

PS to all the 1891 owners, how about some range reports, at long distances?

Very nice!

Very nice, . Those M-91's get me every time. Judi and her Mosin's
