Hi all, I have a Tula 1920 M91 that has a struck C on the barrel shank. It's a mix of parts but mostly Tula, and has not been refurbed. Anybody know what the C indicates? ADMINS: feel free to use the photo as a 1919-1920 Tula example photo, thank you.

I think somewhere in the deep dark corners of my old brain that was thought to be a Serbian connection but I am not positive in anyway. Sorry Bill 
Re: C on the barrel shank?
Yep, the "C" is their version of "S" for Serbia. Cool old rifle.

Re: C on the barrel shank?
I'm thinking their may be more than one meaning for the C. The later rifles like the OP'S. don't seem to jive with a Serb connection as far as the historical timeline goes. I could be wrong though.
On Facebook? Check out the non-sporter preservationist group at: OOOPS. Deleted by Facebook because it's evil to even discuss collectible firearms on social media these days.

Honestly you'll probably never know for sure unless that rifle learns how to speak one day.
Re: C on the barrel shank?
Serbian capture. But, I love the rifle. You don't see too many RFSFR's around any more. I will usually snatch any of these up if they are priced decently. I like it.
