Christmas gift for myself I guess :) Post war 1944/45 B barrel VKT made M91. Serialized receiver, bolt and barrel. Factory tag. 36VKT00 pressure proof. Like new bore. Full of dried cosmoline. No jam magazine. Wonderfully crisp trigger.

Thank You Gents. It's likely only partially Slavic, since the stock is Finnish, barrel is Belgian, but I'm Slavic myself, so I have no complaints about my favorite type of Mosin getting improved. I just cleaned the barrel (picture above shows how it looked before cleaning) and it's mirror clean. I just need some longer cleaning rod lol. It has better sights than 91/30 IMHO and the balance also feels a bit nicer. I will need to spend some serious time cleaning the cosmoline off soon.

The serial number on the receiver. Isn’t that part of old (pre-importer name) US import requirements?

I’ve seen that on some M91s and M39s before.

Seriously cool it still has its’ hang tag though.

Thank You Gents! May be my second, old school, favorite rifle after Swedish 1896. After cleaning I may be able to judge the trigger pull better. It may be actually a bit nicer than Swede. We will see I guess :)
