OK so my mosin cherry as officially been popped. While this finnish mosin is the 1 that got me to break down and buy my 1st mosin...It is
still safe in layaway. While i've gotten some extra work and was going to get her out this weekend, I stumbled across another mosin yesterday ( not so much stumbled, as it was put in my hand with a grin at my other favorite LGS)
I didn't want to say anything till it was home safe with me and I did a lil preemptive google-fu. You mosin fellas please feel free to chime in with any knowledge yall have to share, as I'm still learning daily on these dang boat oars. It will be well accepted and appreciated.
I've dug around a bit and think I may have to buy a lottery ticket tomorrow. I need to give it a good cleaning, its a lil crusty but in great shape and not bubba'd at all ( besides a splash of white paint on the front sight). I'll get a few pics up in a new thread as soon as I can...
Its a Finnish M91 P-series
P-26
4912
B
The barrel and receiver are blued, 2 piece finger groove stock, hex receiver, and finnish matched bolt and most other S/N's are just ---- lined out. Early barrel bands, finnish sling attachments in the dog collar slots, and mostly Izzy arrow stamps on the parts.
Thats what I've got so far, any and all help/info is welcomed. I'm about to take down and clean my 1st mosin for the 1st time. ( anything like GM's Right-loosey lefty-tighty for the barrel bands will be appreciated)
Thanks for the help fellas....I was so phsyched about it last night I hardly slept and took off work early so I could pick it up today.
