Mosin trigger

Took apart my repro sniper yesterday to run some fine sandpaper on the various trigger parts, and found to my surprise the pivot pin for the trigger had been punched into place. My last 2 91/30's didn't have this feature. Anyone else have that?

More and more, I'm starting to think this rifle was originally made up in sniper config, probably post war and never put into service. Too many things about it say "not run of the mill 91/30 made into a sniper repro". No scope serial on the barrel shank, but real snipers have been found that way too...

That business with the trigger pin is a new one on me.

I've seen one like that. It could be as you say, or perhaps an armorer tinkering ?

Mosin Snipers (real ones) had a special trigger installed on them. As far as i know repros dont.

Oops made a mistake. The russians tuned the old triggers making them smoother, lighter, and crisper. Pretty much just cleaned em up.
