Re: Receiver markings identification
According to Matt DiRisio's excellent book, "Finnish Mosin-Nagant", M24s were put together between 1925-1928.
Without a clear tang stamped date, it would be hard to say about the receiver.

The circled mark in the third photo is a refurbisment mark. Scroll down at this link. It will show various refurb marks...

Re: Help Identifying possible M91/30
It's a refurbished 91/30 in a late/post war laminated stock. They were renumbered to match the barrel shank. You might find Izhevsk or Tula parts marked with the same number .

Re: Finnish Army close combat practice/training M91 Dragoon
Yes, it is a pretty uncommon conversion i think. And yes, the rubber bayonet was used to practice close combat / bayonet fighting training. It has been used apparently also on M39s, as I found in some books and pictures. I was very surprised to know that also M28 rifles were modified for this usage...

Re: Help needed
This looks like what used to be called a Balkan rifle. I think you are right that it was an Austrian capture.

We have had a few over the years, but they were all mild. In fact I only ever felt 1 of them.

Re: Interest in new production Mosin receivers?
Mosins are cool and historical, but I would have zero interest in a new one.

Re: Finnish M39 Bayonet authenticity question
Be careful. There are far more reproduction M39 bayonets than surviving originals. I would suggest that posting images on the internet for authentication purposes may not be the best approach. Decent (not Great) reproductions can be found for under $150.00. why not the best idea? By the way, ive do...

Re: Mosin 91/30 hex receiver
If you use a bronze brush and oil, that rust will come off of there and not hurt the bluing that is left. Cool rifle.

Re: My first 1903 Springfield (I've wanted one for 20 years)
For $5 yeah, I'd try it. If it is too tall you can file it down to the correct height.
