Mystery Mosin

Pictures, please

Lets have some pictures of the writing. Or is this another post where we are supposed to read minds and have a vision? There is a singular lack of information on just what this rifle is.

To hazard a guess though, early Mosin-Nagant rifles were stamped with the Imperial Russian ownership marks. These rifles were made before the Russian Revolution in 1917.

Russian Stock. My bet is a Sestroryetsk or Tula rifle. Chances are Sestroryetsk. Could have Finn provenance aswell.
 
Looks like a Russian stock with a Finnish hand guard (I have that on two M91s that went to Finland). If it is the Russian Cyrillic style of writing on the barrel then the rifle could have been made by Tula, Izhevsk, or Sestroyetsk.

Many M91s I have seen on the EE have a Finnish past to them but that just means more history is attached to that rifle.

Nope, perhaps you haven't found one that was "Finned" full Monty. Some have a really slick action.
Sure, it takes some strength to open it but once this is done, that action ejects and feeds like butter, yes.
As for the trigger, I have some tuned M-91s, M-24s, M-27s and M-39s that can show something to many modern rifles.
