I currently own a M44 which i took out of the original stock as some one painted it and i put it into the Arch angel stock. I have a 91/30 as well which is all original with all matching numbers.
And don't hate me, but i just picked up a new one that i fell in love with at first site due to the wood on this little beauty, or as many of you know it as that special SKY M38 riffle i think. which is what i am learning all about now.
its got the SKY markings on both the barrel and the stock . the one on the stock has 1940 below the big S. there are other makers marks on the barrel, SA which is on one side and the bottoms are faded like a poor stamp mark, another marking which might be wrong is 36(or g) s (with the 3 little barbs above it) and either a backwards C & D or od - 36SCD how it would read
their is also two more S marks on the receiver, one is a just small S, the other is a Smaller S with 3 lines above and below it and center is the 1940 mark on the barrel and the SK.Y and a S with the 3 lines above it in a flowery type circle.

I know its hard to tell by description but its pretty awesome! for what ever reason i am not this forum savy and cant figure out how to post photos yet!
Thanks for any info!
Jeff
Welcome to the board, post up some photos of the Finn rifle and we will see what you have, I am not sure if you are saying you have a M38 carbine, M39 rifle, or one of the other Finn's like the M28/30. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Hello everyone,

My name is Nick Thomas. I was sent here by Chuck Hankins.
I'm looking forward to learning and sharing information with everyone!

I'm the proud owner of a 1942 Izhevsk M91/30, I bought it a few weeks ago. I'm in love with it. It's an absolute joy to shoot.
As of now, it's all taken apart for a real good, thorough cleaning. (The cosmoline is a pain.)

Anyhow, Hello everyone! :thumbsup:

Hello, just signed up, looking for info on my first Mosin, found and discovered the forum while searching. Haven't cleaned it yet or looked at any numbers. Very clean though.

Hey everyone, just picked up my first mosin last week, still on the 10 day waiting period so no pictures yet but it is a 1933 hex, just wondering how rare this one is. It's in decent shape and all the numbers appear to match. Let me know!

Welcome to the board, we wait on the pictures to determine how rare it is.

My name is Lee and I'm new here. I have been using Mosin Nagant rifles since the 1970's and just love them. I have 2 at the moment but am really looking for a genuine sniper with all matching numbers. Hope to see you all around!

Welcome to the board Lee, I don't recall seeing too many Mosins around in the 70's. Rifles and ammo were thin on the ground except for when one of the SCW rifles imported back in the 50's turned up. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Hi, I'm "Nap". I just joined. I'm trying to find an old Samco Mosin Sniper w/o the scope, base and mount like they sold when they first came in. I remember them being stamped matching. Anyway I thought this would be a good place to look! I'll post in the marketplace and hope something will turn up! Thanks Nap
