Soviet M1891 Dragoon

[Eaglelord17]

Hi all,

I have just made the most recent addition to my Soviet collection. I managed to acquire a Soviet production M1891 Dragoon which is a Finnish Capture. Manufactured in 1927 by Tula. From what I understand due to the 41 on the receiver it would have been captured during the Continuation War. The front sight I believe has been replaced by the Finns, and the stock has been sanded (did the Finns do this or is this the work of Bubba?). The handguard is off a M91/30 which would have been a acceptable replacement for a broken one. It is also interesting that the Bolt matches the Receiver. Here are some photos, any info that can be added is appreciated.

















And here is a photo comparing a M1891 Soviet Infantry Rifle to a M1891 Soviet Dragoon
