Well I stopped by a local gun store and the owner who knows I collect Mil-surplus rifles said he had something for me.
He goes behind the counter and pulls out a 1903 dated M-91 Mosin with a scope mount and bent bolt. to be stark the gun looks like hell and it has two BOLTS Jb welded to the receiver to hold the scope mount on, (You tighten two nuts). Well I inspected it and noticed it has a SA stamp on it and the boar is pitted but the rifling is great.
So here is my question. is this rifle worth the $150? it looks like I could straiten it up a bit and have a Finnish M-91 (The SA is a Finnish mark right) to make a decent shooter out of but it will never be a collectors piece
