Didn't the use it in Stalingrad....No? boy did I get taken

 

[Claven2]

OK, found time to take some pics

Here's a nice 1942 91/30 refurb. It's stamped matching and the only renumbered part is the floorplate. The bolt is the orignal bolt, poor "enemy at the gates" machining and all.

Notice how they even only cleaned up the mag welds with a fast pass on the grinding disc!

See the mill marks and rough finish on the bolt flat prior to stamping?

Cool, huh? I like the rough ones Oh - and she's a laminate too!

 

[Claven2]

And here's a nice 1931 Tikka M27

Even the hard to find M27 sling!

Even built on an early Chatellerault receiver. Notice the lack of a tang date and the thread oiling hole? There's also a circle-C on the side of the tang

 

[Claven2]

And lastly, here is a nice 1941 Tikka M91 in a wartime (continuation war) Finn 3 piece stock. Bore is mint. Receiver is Austro-hungarian capture marked

 

[Claven2]

Oh, and by the way, I'm NOT a mosin collector, I'm NOT a mosin collector, I'm NOT a mosin collector, I'm NOT a mosin collector, I'm NOT a mosin collector, I'm NOT a mosin collector, I'm NOT a mosin collector!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Skippy]

I think it's time to face the facts Claven

By the way, those are some beautiful rifles, even for Mosins.

Wait till I get around to posting the Sessy M91 and the Civil Guard M24 I have en-route

 

[Skippy]

I was right, you're much to far gone now

 

[ollie]

Want more Mosin ####?

Here's the hang tag off my unissued Finn M1891 1942 B barrel.

The B-Barrel is the 2nd rifle down in this pic of some other guns I have...

And here's an unissued Sako made 1944 SkY Civil Guard M39

But these aren't new aquisitions. My M24 should be here tomorrow, but give me a few days to clean it up and post pics

 

[Sigismund]

good thing your not a mosin collector, or you would have ALOT more mosins!

 

[Klunk]

Dam, but those are nice....

The laminate stock is juicy sweet

How about a little more explantion on the austro Hungarian capture marks?....Not the same as my '91 with German capture marks?

 

[Claven2]

Hi Klunk, German captures either have "Deutches Reich" in a roundel cartouche on the butt stock like this:

Or, in rarer cases on the side of the receiver like thi:

Austro-Hungarian WW1 captures are marked AZF, OEWG, or capital R.

Here's a pic of my Austro-Hungarian captured Sestroryetsk receiver. It is marked AZF (Artillerie Zeugs Fabrik in Vienna) on both barrel and receiver, along with a "14" for the 1914 rework date (by the Austrians in Vienna). It also has the R on the barrel, next to the Russian "No." marking, but usually it's just one or the other.

 

[Claven2]

good thing your not a mosin collector, or you would have ALOT more mosins!

As opposed to the dozen or so I already have?

 

[Sigismund]

As opposed to the dozen or so I already have?

exactly, picture single handedly driving up the price for mosins by removing supply in canada

 

[Claven2]

Well, I doubt I will go that far...

 

[Klunk]

Hi Klunk, German captures either have "Deutches Reich" in a roundel cartouche on the butt stock like this:

Nifty...never saw anything like that before

But....this is what I speak of on my Finn M-91...
