mosin nagant 91/30

wcoxy2003

Recently bought one at a gun show. Ex. condition metal and wood. No Russian markings on receiver or barrel. Muzzle end of barrel marked M91 7.62R FINLAND (self explanatory) on underside,and CAI ST.A VT above. Barrel has SA mark on top with no date or any other marks. Serial # is marked on hex receiver. Can you give me any historical info regarding these markings?

what is the difference and advantages of a "hex" receiver, vs the standard one?? also, where is a good resource for info on these rifles online?

Can you re blue ? If so is the process difficult?

got mine today and was thinking about putting a scope on it but what ive seen on youtube where you knock out the pins on the rear site and i looked at mine and it doesnt have the 2 pins like all the other ones ive seen. its a 1940 make. is anyone elses like that? no pins? and what would i do to scope it i dont care to drill and tap it.

Who makes a good, inexpensive trigger for the Mosin Nagant 91/30. The only trigger company I can think of is Timney.

This forum "Workbench" would be far more tolerant of discussing scopes on a Mosin.
