1900 Izhevsk

Post by TulaTom »

I picked this one up locally a few months ago. The bore looks like you typically see with these, but it groups Czech light ball as well as my 91/30's. I need to adjust the front sight over a tad to get the windage correct though.

Finn matched bolt knob. The one is a little tough to see in the photo, but it's there.

You don't see many Finnish M91 length cleaning rods.

Notice the interesting HH stamp that mates the barrel and receiver.

I'm always amazed at the older Mosins, just like the Energizer bunny, they keep 'shooting and shooting and shooting'.. :wink:

Very nice Tom. Also, it is a Finnish captured rifle. Look next too the HH initials and you will see the SA enclosed stamp.

Also Finn war time fore end splice, Finn swivels, Finn rear sight markings, and Finn M39 type cleaning rod.

Best of all to me are the beautiful Arsenal marks.

I thought some of those items and marking were Finns. But I don't know all that much about these rifles. I also suspect the HH is by the Finnish inspector after they fixed it up. Similar to a Swede rifle.

Looks pretty good for 114 years old - clean, clear markings and blueing. I like it!

I'm not really sure, Steve. Possible. I had it back out on the range today and it did well. I wish the Finnish wood screws were still intact though. That front band slips a little, which causes the handguard to move forward a bit. One of the prongs on the front of the handguard is a little bent, which also causes a poor fit with the front band. Still a nice shooter.

Early style knob. Was over size, the bottom was cut to fit. Someone else will chime in with better explanation.

That's on me. I took those photo's after I pulled that one out of the safe. There was a thread on this topic the other day, but I store my Mosins with the bolt open and I usually decock the bolt. Just habit more than anything. I don't think it saves the spring that much. Just a preference thing.

Steve is correct. That was the standard knob for the earlier Mosins. But I don't know when it was changed to the later model knob.
