[QUOTE="Swingwing, post: 3412187, member: 4382"] That looks like a 91/30 that was made at the Ishevsk factory in 1941. I can't make it out for sure. It would make sense if it were 1941 because of the 41 stamp on the upper right side of the barrel shank, then was later restamped with the SA in a rectangle on the lower left side. The 41 was used as a Finnish army property stamp for a short period during 1941 and later the SA was used. So that would mean your rifle was actually captured in 1941 during the Finnish Continuation War (1941-44) with the Soviets. It went thru a Finnish arsenal at least twice. It would help confirm that is really an SA stamp with some more pictures of the barrel shank and the whole rifle. Is there a finger splice in the stock forward of the magazine almost directly under the rear sight? The PS over the serial number is the transliteration of the original prefix ΠC9971 done by the importer to satisfy ATF at that time.
