Here I present my 1937 Finnish Tula 91/30 Mosin Nagant with a blue bolt. I purchased the rifle at a pawn shop not knowing what I was getting. It appeared to be in good condition so I purchased it for $100. After doing a little research, I found that the Finns produced very few blue bolt rifles and no one seems to know why. It was manufactured at the Tula arsenal in 1937. It has the D stamped on it and also the SA appearing on it. There is a stock makers mark on the butt of the rifle. It also has a 2-piece stock.
