weird mosin, any details about it?

A-10 · 03-06-2008, 06:15 AM

It's got a sort of musket look to it with no upper fore end and no sights.

texnmidwest · 03-06-2008, 06:52 AM

That is an interesting rifle! Have not seen those markings before either. Where did you find it?

SwedeSteve · 03-06-2008, 11:30 AM

It is a scrubbed/refurbed Sesty with "upgraded" stock, magazine, and front band.

???what is a sesty??

SwedeSteve · 03-06-2008, 11:46 AM

Sestroryetsk Ordnance Factory.

marion57 · 03-06-2008, 12:12 PM

Withouut researching it I assume its fairly rare?

SwedeSteve · 03-06-2008, 02:29 PM

All the early M91's are pretty rare. If it had the original/correct parts it would definitely be a rare one! But, as we know, so many were refurbed.

LefthandShooter · 03-06-2008, 03:21 PM

A beautiful piece of history!

Cyrano · 03-06-2008, 03:48 PM

That's the old Imperial Russian seal. Must be an original M1891. Where on earth did you find it and do they have any more of them?

R5CYA · 03-06-2008, 03:55 PM

if it's what it's claimed to be, it's rarer than that. it's supposed to be a remington prototype. it's for sale on gunbroker.

SwedeSteve · 03-06-2008, 05:42 PM

There's no way to verify that it is a Remington. So, unless he has a handwritten letter stating so, it's just a bunch of hooey. I don't think Remington would release one wihout their name on it to boot.

R5CYA- I did find it on Gunbroker. You left out the 2 most important pictures! I am sitting at my desk eating a BIG plate of CROW!

I seem to remember seeing somewhere that the Remingtons had an "R" stamped on the receiver.

Big Dog · 03-06-2008, 05:58 PM

Ype, it was no Sesty. My Sesty M91 has a different crest. At least it has the sights still on it too! Good shooters, those old M91s - though the Arshin sights are a bit different, for sure. You'd need a long shotgun case too, as the normal rifle cases are too short.

R5CYA · 03-06-2008, 06:08 PM

hey! they got a sesty as well!

But my wishlist is already too big (bigger than my bank account).

Cyrano · 03-06-2008, 10:54 PM

Dammit, why do these exotic ones always come up when I don't have the spare cash to buy them?
