Older thread, but you dodged a bullet by walking away. That is a good M28 barreled reciever, but dropped in a Soviet M91/30 refurb stock, which is completely inauthentic. Finns did have some M27s in...

Mosins will not have shiny bores. For 200 I'd have snapped it up. It may have been shot with corrosive ammo and not cleaned properly. They tend to shoot just fine even if ugly. Soak, clean, then...

My US marked Ross has a serial over 10k. I'll post pics when I can.

Yeah, the stock repair may have been done here. I see an import marking, so with that think this may be a Balkan used rifle. Rough use. This also may have been a Century U-fix-em special with lots of...

Ah. Excellent question. That mark was put there by the importer and is the rifle serial number. The SI is the translation of the Russian letters. You can also see them above the serial number on...

Great pair. That's what I love about collecting. Thanks for posting!

That's a looker! Great addition to an already impressive collection.

Possible Finn mark, but it is not in the normal place. Generally the 41 mark is found on the right side of the barrel shank near the wood line. For a late war 91/30 capture, you'd also generally...

That rear sight plate alignment seems to be pulling your shots to the right. It looks a little more crude than a normal Finn plate rear sight as well. The Finn versions were originally for the...

It isn't an antique, but you can buy cheap SVT 40s.

If it isn't a Finn (someone replaced the rear sight leaf with a Finn part) I'd suggest it may be Spanish. The Tula star would be fine as the...

Welcome to the 26 club. I have a three digit Tula 1926 M91 that is Finn captured. I believe yours is as well, since the rear sight leaf is a flat plate with two screws, Finn style. No other...

Well done Andy. Great achievement!

Swindle. Good choice not selling for 100. Many were rebarreled, but it doesn't really hurt the value that much. What is the manufacturer and serial range? May be correct.

At any rate, any...

Since that M91 came out of Finland, I'd feel pretty good about shooting it. Should be as good as the other 32 Tula safety wise. I've shot many Finns just like yours. Your 07 is absolutely...

If it's scrubbed, likely a Balkan import and not Finn. The leaf mark on the stock is a tell tale Bulgarian pine cone mark. Finn rear sights also had the arshins crossed out or shaved off and new...

WWI Canadian Ross VGC 303 NON IMPORT 1905 : Curios & Relics at GunBroker.com


I wanted to know if there was such a thing, but to me, this looks like a cut down rifle. I searched and thought I...

Not a lot of information on that action, but i did manage to pick up a book called, "The Mau Mau Manhunt". I can't remember the author, but it may have been a guy named Baldwin. He was an American...

Thanks! I shot it this week and it works like a dream. Bore is really nice, and it doesn't seem to have an enlarged chamber like others do. I just tested it with Paki ammo, so i don't have a real...

I got this rifle yesterday, after stalking it for a month and negotiating for a good price. I have some questions on the unit markings. It is a US Property marked MkII. It has a * above the II,...

I picked this one up off of Gunbroker a couple of weeks ago for just over a run of the mill MkIII costs. The seller didn't state anything about Iraq in the subject line, and there was no pic of the...

I hope you bought it. That's probably a $300 rifle with tons of great history. Finn rifles are mix masters, so I wouldn't change a thing. Trying to get all Westinghouse parts would not help the...

I found one in a local pawn shop that usually doesn't know what's what. They don't have it priced yet, so I'm hoping to get it for a good price before they do much research.

It is about the best...

I have a couple of SCW 91/30s, but no dragoons. All of my dragoons are Finn used rifles. Nice grab and look forward to pics.:thup:

I have a few project guns coming and wanted to know if anyone has experience with the MkI forends that EFD sells. They are pricey ($260), but available. I have the proper MkI lower hand guards, but...

A correct, all matching Remington or Westinghouse is easily a $1000 rifle. If the metal is not cut down, I'd consider it. Getting a replacement stock with the proper US markings will be very hard...
