Finally, it has happened. I have been searching and searching. This is one that I have been waiting for for a long time. I was fortunate enough to find a seller, and I pulled the trigger. I will let the pics speak.

[SA] T Finn sling?

Finn stamped yardage.

Finn line out. Circle C for Chatellerault.

Bore looks great, but has about an inch counterbore.

Sestroryetsk stamp.

Sestroryetsk on bolt head too.

Circle C for Chatellerault

Remington mag/trigger guard.

Stock cartouche worn and unreadable.

Finnish "S" stock stamp and number. Civil Guard property.

Correction: Inspector's "C" stamp. It is not a Serbian property stamp.

Finnish "D" stamp.

omg? you are a twelve year old girl, when it comes to mosins.

 

[Iron_Colonel]

I guess I will take that as a compliment.

 

[Billyz]

It can be read as both as was meant as both. Nice find.

 

[Iron_Colonel]

Well, for me it's right now the find of a lifetime. So I am pretty stoked about it, in case you couldn't tell

Congrat IC on your new baby.. Very nice for a gun that is over 100 years old

Awesome find and it seems it's got some history to boot.

 

[GlockMeister]

Hey IC, I'll be completely honest with you about it, I don't yet have a mosin ( I knnow gandog, I know, lol) and I don't know that much at all and all I know or have learned has been from you guys here at G&G.

That said, I'm happy you found what to me, to you seems to be your holy grail of Mosins...CONGRATS! It looks great and seems to have a lot of character.


And again, I know gandog, I know... lmao

Поздравляю на ваша новая винтовка!!!!

 

[gandog56]

I'm still wondering why you hang out around here if you refuse to get that Mosin.

 

[texnmidwest]

Maybe it is because we are a heck of a lot more fun than the guys who hang in the powder keg!

 

[texnmidwest]

IC, I almost forgot!!! *shame*...

CONGRATS on the great find!!!!

 

[Iron_Colonel]

Thanks guys! I guess this will have to suffice until I save up enough, then find the 1895 Winchester that was made for the Russians.

 

[mouser868]

How does it shoot, will it keep up (group size) with my Tula at the range???

 

[Iron_Colonel]

Have yet to shoot it.

 

[jmeck]

Nice rifle IC. Very old, rare, and with quite a history. I like it.

 

[Mosin Shooter]

I know I'll sound like a broken record, but great find.

 

[littlestoney406]

[Mosaka]

Wow , very nice rifle .. looks to be in nice shape. Congrats on finding that rare bird

 

[SwedeSteve]
