1926 M91 Mosin Nagant?
Ok, here is my new Member thread. I picked up this 1926 Mosin Nagant M91 finnish model Rifle. I am trying to do some research on it. Picked up some manuals already. But I'm a bit confused on what it really is.
On the left side is an SA mark. The finnish Army Property stamp.
Also it is marked with 2919 on the left.
In the finger grove on the left is marked with a 4. I can't find a finnish stock makers stamp.
It seems to me that is a solid stock. But it has been pressed together to make a full stock. ??
It has the triangle with a T in it. Under that has 2919, then a C mark, and then 1926.
So I am not sure it is a full or two piece stock. So any help would be great. :help:

You have an early Tikka barreled Finnish M91. If the stock has a splice that looks like fingers, it is a Finnish two piece stock. Early Tkka barrels were made with 3 different bore sizes. A, B, and C. Your C bore was originally .3087. I have heard that this smaller than standard bore can cause some issues if standard russian spec surplus ammo is used. You have found quite a nice rifle. Congrats.

The side mark of 2919 is probably the importer restamp.
If it is a solid stock, that is not out of the question. If it has splices, that is normal too. That was done by the Finns to reduce warping and repair damaged forends.
C is the bore diameter. There were three bore diameters made, namely A, B and C. C barrels have a diameter of .3087"
Triangle T is a Tikka mark.
