Did you see the gallery??? There's pictures of every inch of this rifle. It's an Imgur link in the Main post. The receiver is a Chatt... No date on tang. Pic is in there and labeled.

I took a few more pictures, with some different lighting... no flash. I spent all my monies on guns, can't afford a decent camera.... :chuckles: :chuckles: https://i.imgur.com/QDuuXG3.jpg https://i.imgur.com/p1lEgca.jpg https://i.imgur.com/abLnbRP.jpg https://i.imgur.com/lNpQwLz.jpg https://i.imgur....

That is a nice rifle. For it being made in 1894, it looks absolutely fabulous! How does she shoot? In all honosty I haven't found the space to shoot her yet. I have private property pistol range but for this ol' girl I want some distance. Besides that, I wanted to learn all I could about the rifle ...

Maybe it's just the glare from the flash of the camera... Hard to tell. More pictures and a deeper description would help. It's nice looking in spots and wear in others it's hard to tell. Theres grit and dirt that looks aged on top layer at edges. I will get better lighting and more photos for you....

It's a stamp , the words are very tiny, if I get a chance later I will see what I can find for an example. Thank you. I don't have anything like the picture posted above. That's for sure. I'll be home tomorrow evening and take another look. I went over the thing with a magnifying glass. If it is th...

Awesome

A-ha! Thank you Sir. Yeah that mark is quite obvious.

If the import mark looks like light scratch marks from a bayonet possibly then yes it has an import mark

Import markings have been federally mandated to be placed on imported firearms since the 1968 amendment to the 1934 gun control act, otherwise known as GCA68. Is there a common mark I'm looking for? Do you have an example? I will take better lighting and barrel pictures when I return home. No pic a...

Wow, ok. I'll look. I did see wear marks maybe from a bayonet at one time. I will look more aggressively ;)

Looking forward to taking it out. Need to find a better range or property in area with some reach.

Beautiful rifle. Congratulations. Dolk Thank you Dolk! Awesome community you and your team have here. It's been an absolute pleasure browsing all the compiled information. It may be my first Mosin but in no way will it be my last. My collecting aim at this point is finding M91's from each ordnance ...

It has the names Mercedes carved into the left buttstock and Tresa on the right side. I added a lonely slightly cracked hand guard to it because it is complete with that and the one I had was so close in color to the stock color. I rarely if ever add things but the hand guard is so close I couldn't...

Thank you Entropy, I'm on the hunt for an M91 bayonet now... Seems like it will be quite the challenge. I can only hope I have a dust of luck left

Thank you RudyN! Maybe your receiver mated to my barrel at one time in the past century!

Thanks Vitaminboy! I am very fortunate to have said the right thing to the right person. He had no interest in it. Your markings are nice as well! Love the Sestroryetsk roll mark... My favorite by far.
