I am helping an older man put firewood in his home. He wants to pay me. I insist no. But he insists I take something and gives me this rifle. My search concludes it's a mossin Nagant. But other than that, I'm nor sure. It looks odd.
Can you help me? Thank you

We'll need to see pictures.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Yes totally missed this. Pics now attached!

That is a Sestroryetsk. Very desirable. Unfortunately the stock was chopped, but fortunately the barrel doesn't look to have been chopped. It might take a while to find them, but I would start the search for a replacement stock and handguard. They might be a bit pricey, but with the rifle being free, worth it.

Thank you very much. What would it be worth as is? If I found a stock, what would worth be then? Woud the stock need to be an 1899 or could it be any compatible m91 stock?
Appreciated!

Any M91 stock should work. I don't know what current prices are. Someone is bound to come along with a better idea of value.

Re: Can you help me identify this?
Thanks again, apparently finding a stock is super rare.. I think I'll just sell as is. I'll look for a stock first though...
