Somewhat unusual Finnish 91/30 Mosin.

[roy45]

Does your rifle have any of the Spanish Civil War features? Like the "USSR" marking on the rear sight base?


Check out this thread on Gunboards...
SCW find.

Your rifle looks very similar to the SCW rifle that this guy found. Even has the same type of bedding. Very unusual - and cool!

I hope you don't mind that I posted some of your photos in the thread above for comparison of the bedding.

Manufacture date of 1939 is too late for SCW as arms shipments from USSR ended before 1939. The [SA] marking is a positive indication of Finnish use.
