Finnish Mosin Nagant hunting rifles
I recently picked up a stock for a Mosin Nagant.
A thumb-hole "sporter" stock that appears to be inlet and bedded for relatively light ('91 / '91-30 / maybe M-39 barrel. There is some "winter-grade" checkering (about 10 LPI) on the sides of the fore-end.
It is adorned with a bunch of round "stickers" dated variously between 1986 and 1997. These are apparently "hunter proficiency" tags that a hunter must have before going into the field for bear, moose, etc. seasons. No tag? Don't get found in the "woods" with a rifle!
Has anyone any information on this aspect of Finn Mosin Nagantery?

Finnish 6,3x54mm hunting cartridge
The necked down 7,62x54R was used into the 50's until replaced by more modern cartridges like the 222 Rem and 243 Win. Use for long range small game hunting.
The Soviet loading is more powerfulAttachment 100920
