I bought this at the Rochester Gun Show back in September 2009. It was the second Mosin Nagant I'd purchased at the time and I knew very little about it except the ski trooper stock was neat. I think I paid $300 at the time. It was missing the front barrel band plate when I bought it, but some years later I managed to find someone on the forums selling an example.
I was updating pictures of most of my collection and took some of this rifle. I don't focus on Finn rifles with my Mosin collecting, but this one has managed to stay in the collection over the years. It has a few neat features to it:
-Serial number of the rifle is in the correct range for this early style stock
-The butt plate matches to the rifle (you can see the "39" stamped on it). The bolt and floor plate are mismatched though.
-The stock has some repairs where Austrian style sling hangers were once attatched
-It missed having an "SA" marked stamped on it, which I think is pretty neat since the majority of Civil Guard rifles I've ran across received it at some point in time.
Enjoy the photos, folks!
