One of two B barrel VKT made M91's I was lucky enough to find a few years ago. It has a one piece American black walnut stock with lots of character, the bore is in new condition from crown to breech. It's has a scrubbed date Chatterault receiver and a Finn matched bolt, no sling rings. If you want a M91 as a shooter then these are the rifles that you look for, built by the Finns this rifle has Sestroryetsk, Tula, Izhevsk, and US parts in it along with the Chatterault receiver. Sort of a history of Mosin M91 production in one rifle.
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.

Both of the B barrel M1891's I have are excellent shooters, it's as if they were built that way.....Oh, yea, come to think on it they were
