What is the Oldest Mosin-Nagant Rifle You Have?

[ciphery]

1955 Polish M44 the one and only Mosin Nagant rifle I own......funy thing is that this mil-surp has a fit and finish superior to many $600+ reifles sold today and the smoothness of the action is superior to many $800+ dollar guns......the trigger pull is a different story however.

 

[SA85M1]

1894 dated Chatterault M1891....first production run of the Mosin to exist...she is a Finn capture unfortunately,though she has her matching metal including the buttplate!

My 35 Tula doesn't seem quite so old now.....and the 36 is practically brand new as far as this thread goes!

 

[handofzeus]

1904 Finn capture with one piece stock and counterbore.

Damn guys, love the age of some these.... I was impressed with mine being 1938. Going to be looking for older now.

1904 Tula hex...........1913 Ishy hex Dragoon action /minty 42 barrel Russian double headed eagle stamp.Harold

1894 French receiver. I don't recall any details. I am not at home, so I can't dig around in the pile to look at it. Nearly 120 years since it was manufactured. Amazing.

I know, I thought I had one pretty low until this. I nearly forgot, mine has a double date:

 

[sledge]

1914...also have a 1914 SMLE. Anything dated 1914 from the great war is worth double in my collection.

You guys have given me hope of finding an oldie.

[Horilka]

I have a non-Finned 1896 Tula M91.

Oh, I thought they do not exist in Canada. How I have a hope. The only non-Finned M91 I have is Remington that was in US service.
Can you post some pics of this babe?

 

[Steppenwolf]

A 1917 Finn marked Remington which has been counter bored.

I hope they didn't scrub the receiver! Just an SA marking and be done with it?

Oldest Mosin I've got is a 1929 Izhevsk is very nice shape. Just picked up a pair of round receivers so I can retire her from shooting.
