Pic of old finn

Barrel must have been a pretty good one to keep on that long. Russians changed out the rear sight, then the Finns restocked it and cut the chamber for the D cartridge. Can't see any reason that the receiver wouldn't be original, but should be easy enough to check the date on the underside of the tang.

What is the D cartridge?

What is the D cartridge?

The nutshell is the Finns re-barreled many Nagants [M91/30 and M39?] with .308" bores, marked with a “D” on the barrel.
They built them as match rifles, but they shot their standard 7.62x54R [match?] ammunition through them.
