Interesting Mosin Find
So this one comes with a bit of a story. My father and I recently decided to work on a bolt-action rifle together, for fun and to help me with my goal of a gunsmith's certificate after college. We ended up buying a Mosin Nagant M91 barreled receiver, and got a bit more than we bargained for. While it's definitely valuable in its own right, as an 1897 dated Mosin, it turns out that it still has the pre-1908, or pre-Konovalov for you collectors, rear sight. Apparently this is quite rare and valuable, to the point where a fellow mentioned to me that he's seen less than a dozen online and only ever one in person, despite working with quite a few. So, I do believe I stumbled across quite the project. Pretty good for $35, eh?
