My first p-series rifle will be on the way today. I've not been able to examine one first-hand before, I'm looking forward to it! I like the fact that it's on an 1897 Sestroryetsk receiver, I've been lucky enough to recently get a '94 Chatellerault and an M24 on a '96 receiver. More photos when it arrives.

Be sure to get that in that P Series list some has set up. It seems we are getting quite a lot of them in there as the list has gone to two pages last I checked on it. Congrats! Check to make real sure the idiots at Century have not bulged the liner inward when they stamped the import marks on the barrel. I have one georgous one that is that way! Bill

One of these days, I am going to have to start a survey on how many have Finn's built on 1897 and 1898 Sestroryetsk receivers. I seem to see many of them.

Very cool!
If memory serves, my P-26 is on a 1894 Izhevsk receiver.

What is the story behind the P series? I haven't read anything on them yet.

Those relined barrels have always fascinated me. I have yet to been able to examin one in person though. Congrats again Dave. I'm looking forward to your upcoming pictures.

With the C stamp on the barrel, isn't that going to require handloaded ammunition using. 308 bullets? A careful exam of the bore and a proper slugging would be required along with the usual headspace check, etc..... before attempting to shoot it. This is a most worthy Finn!

According to Bowser, the 'C' would mean .3087, at least immediately after retubing. Now?
