Hi I m new to the Mosins because i collect usual german stuff. Maybe someone can enlight me about his history.
It's an early receiver with late barrel and SA stamp from capturing. Maybe these reworked the barrel? The frontsight is very high i noticed. The rifle is untouched and fullof grease like it was sold (deactivated) at the beginn of 1970s.
Some stuff is matching or renumbered, other have no number.
Thanks

Your Mosin is one of the roughly 13,000 M91/30's assembled by Finland using new production barrels made by Tikka and a combination of new parts and reused parts from unserviceable Mosin's. These are often called the M30 in Finnish service. The barrels themselves were made in 1943 and 1944 but many weren't assembled into complete rifles until after WW2. The SA stamp is a Finnish Army property stamp that doesn't have anything to do with a rifles capture status. The front sight you mentioned is a early Soviet M91/30 blade front sight that was repurposed for use on that rifle. The Finn's preferred the blade front sight and I've seen other Finn's Mosin's with sights like that, I think I own one or two actually. Off to the gunroom to check...

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.

If it's like mine then it will be a treat to shoot on the range, tight groups.Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: Mosin 91/30 hex receiver
Was the rifle deactivated as in unable to be shot? Or just released from military stores for.expoet? That confused me a little.
Nice mosin
