The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Now THAT would be a great way to spend a Saturday. Watch for a recapture with a Finn SA stamp, I haven't found one yet. Plus the elusive 41 Tula. I've only ever lucked into one of those. VERY hard to find.

Nice. Could it be MI8? That is a mark so far only seen on Spanish Mosin stocks. Check out this auction that ended recently. It has some good pictures. Keep trying, they're out there! https://www.proxibid.com/asp/LotDetail.asp?ahid=3848&aid=52461&lid=13732492&rts=/asp/searchadvanced_i.asp...
