Interesting 1933 Izhevsk Finn Captured 91/30, "41" Marked

Post by HexEx »

I picked this one up from a buddy today at a local gun show. It's a Finn captured 1933 Izhevsk 91/30 with the "41" stamp on the barrel shank. The stock is dated 1905 underneath the butt plate with a Finnish spliced forend. Interestingly, there are no SA stamps anywhere. Just the "41" stamp. This thing looks like it had a very rough life during the war. The stock is very weathered and dinged up. Surprisingly the bore is still in great shape. I also love the early features on it! The brass caps on the handguard and the button style barrel bands. Interestingly, this rifle was pictured on the now defunct 7.62x54r.net (now igun.cz) as an example pictured with the "41" stamp. Anyway, I thought you all would like to see it.

These are very cool. A bonus to have a Finn with a '41 capture date stamped on it.
