1891/30 Moisin Differences

[Jameso]

What is the difference between the Russian and Finnish Mosin Nagants, all made in Russia and the Fin's just modified what they captured?

 

[muh-muh-muh-mauser]

There are Russian made mosins that were captured by the Finns (hence the name Finn Capture) and they are usually stamped w/ the Finnish "SA" stamp. There are however Finnish made mosins too and they are generally regarded to be the best mosins ever made but command a higher price as a result.

Finland made no actions or bolts. All Finn rifles use Russian or US (Remington or Westinghouse) receivers and bolts.
