Imperial Finned Tula M91

[NinerMaine]

I picked this up today. It was tagged as a 91/30.

What I know. Made by Tula. Served with the Finish Army. Has a Finish Stock and hangers. Has mostly Tula parts. The bolts is mostly Tula. The bolt serial number matches the receiver. There are not other parts numbered except the bolt knob and that does not match. No import mark.

Any thoughts of this gun would be appreciated. I always wanted an old Imparial M91.. so I am very happy. Thanks for looking.

ANTIQUE! I just love that kind of faded blue tint/patina.

I've always wanted an imperial Mosin as well. Very nice.

Excellent example of a 1920's Finn rebuild of an Imperial M91. The antique status is a big bonus. Congrats, Niner!

Too bad I had to sell the rifle range with the business. Bet this one would be fun to shoot.

Thanks Martin. Do you think this has been messed with since the Finns rebuilt it? Any idea why no other parts have serial numbers? Would that have been standard for a Finn rebuild? My club has a range near Canton. We can always shoot there. [emoji4]

The Finns used a lot of parts to build their rifles, and rarely do any parts match except the bolt. It looks just right, not messed with.
