WWII Finnish VKT M91 Mosin-Nagant | 1899 Izhevsk Receiver | 1942 VKT Refurb | SA + D Marked Description: For sale is a genuine wartime Finnish M91 (M91/30 pattern) Mosin-Nagant built on an original 1899 Izhevsk Imperial Russian receiver and refurbished with a new VKT barrel in 1942. This is a classic example of Finnish wartime refurbishment during the Continuation War. Key Features & Markings: Receiver: Original Izhevsk 1899 manufacture (clear bow & arrow + 1899 date on the underside of the tang). This is the production date of the receiver itself. Additional Soviet hammer & sickle mark, Y-in-triangle proof, and multiple Russian inspector stamps. The receiver was later refurbished by Finland and bears a 1942 date stamp from the VKT arsenal work. Barrel: Finnish VKT (triangle mark), approximately 28-29" length, "D" chambered for Finnish D166 ammunition, boxed SA (Suomen Armeija / Finnish Army property mark). Stock: Finnish two-piece wartime stock with characteristic finger joints (rounded splice typical of 1940-1943 production). Bolt: Pre-1928 Izhevsk (bow & arrow marking, unnumbered - correct for Finnish mix-and-match refurbs). Condition: Good shooter-grade example with honest wartime patina. Strong, clean bore with crisp rifling. Solid mechanics. Wood shows nice figure and typical service wear. Caliber: 7.62x54R Capacity: 5-round internal magazine Overall Length: Standard full-length M91 configuration This rifle is C&R eligible. It combines an 1899 Imperial Russian receiver (pre-1900 manufacture) that saw later Soviet use, with authentic 1942 Finnish Army wartime refurbishment by VKT - featuring a new barrel, stock, and Finnish markings. The early antique receiver paired with clear VKT/SA/D marks and finger-joint stock makes this a desirable example for collectors of WWII Eastern Front firearms and multi-national Mosin variants. Rifles with this combination of early Imperial receiver dates, documented Finnish refurbishment, and original wartime features are increasingly sought after in the collector market. All markings shown in the photos are clear and original. Additional detailed photos of receiver tang (both 1899 and 1942 dates), barrel, stock, bore, and proofs are included. This rifle should be inspected by a licensed gunsmith prior to firing.
