Modern rifles and Sportsters are discussed here.

Sportsters:
We don't advocate making Sportsters from military surplus rifles. We do recognize the ones already made in years past as pieces of history and of importance (such as the Bannerman, Blindee and old custom sportsters). If you bought one, you may show it here. Discussion of how to do this kind of work is not allowed. It is contrary to our over all forum values. So please don't abuse this forum. All final decisions will be made by the Administrators and no one else please. Non permanent alterations may be shown here but keep in mind, if it is in conflict with the "spirit" of these forums, we may remove it at our discretion.

Sporter Rem with odd markings

Post by Mullo98 »

Hello everyone. Recently I picked up this Sporter mosin since I wanted to get into hunting and I didn't want to lug my full size tula around nor risk damaging it.

Turns out this is a 1917 Remington m91 that was converted at sometime. The guy I bought from mentioned the guy who he got from said it was in his family for 80 years. But how true that is, I don't know. I believe this is an sporter sold in the early 1900s or a finn cub.

What's more interesting however, is this marking under the eagle crest, it looks like a yll that's been underlined. Someone told me it appears to be a tsars marking. But I'm not sure. Anyone know what it means?
