    My first two Finned Imperial Russian M91s....

    1.) M91 Tula 1914

    Nothing real special about this one - typical Finnishicon mix up of parts, bolt renumbered to match. Stock has had the Austro-Hungarianicon sling hanger holes plugged. In all over pretty nice condition. Bore is a dirty - actually the whole rifle is dirty - but extremely shootable. The previous owner has used this rifle to win Club Service Rifle Shoots. I put a Finnish rectangle buckle sling on it...







    2.) M91 Remington 1917

    100% original Remington. Everything factory matches. Retains original front sight, has not had Finnish 200m modification done to rear sight. Still got cosmolineicon in the action and bolt. Bore is pretty nice, but could probably do with being shot. Biggest downer is I suspect the cleaning rod is repro, and its missing the two handguard screws. Sling was Continuation War M28 sling (cos no one wants to sell me their SY 1920s marked sling!), but now is an 'SY 30' marked leather sling...



















    Here's some comparison shots of the features that are different between these two rifles.





    I consider myself incredibly lucky to have these, Russianicon M91s are pretty hard to find down here - for every M91 I come across, I see four M24s. I get very sick of seeing M24s....
