I brought a N.E.W. and SCW 91/30 home today. My wife bought them for me! I'll show you the SCW in another post.
The N.E.W. has obviously been "Finned" and is a real mixmaster. She is PUOLUSTUSLAITOS and SA marked. After I got the metal out of the wood, I discovered she has a Remington receiver. The rest of the parts are Izhevsk and Tula. The two-piece Finn stock has an interesting repair on the left side by the receiver and is devoid of any cartouches. The stock has an original finish and looks shiny from the lemon oil. The bolt body has been on at least two other rifles. She has been counter-bored about .5" and the rest of the bore looks pretty good. Sling hangers and a cleaning rod are on the way.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

It has literally been around the world and back. Doesn't it feel wonderful to get your hands on a nice one like this? Good show. I will be looking forward to your Spanish Mosin.

I'm glad you were able to get them both. That New with Remington combo is pretty cool. Also has an interesting stock repair.
