[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 2317958, member: 13284"] I'm not sure that I know what a "going" mark is but I think he just meant that the barrel was a German contract Bohler-Stahl. For reddogg... If we all haven't made the point clear in previous posts, the Finnish built their various Mosin Nagant models (M91, M24, M27, M28, M28/30, M39, M91/30) off of purchased and captured Russian receivers and other parts. The Finns would then outfit these "recycled" receivers with their Finnish made or subcontracted barrels (such as the M24's Bohler-Stahl). Some parts such as stocks, sights, triggers etc can either be Finnish made or Russian in origin and converted to Finn specs. You will also encounter Finnish Mosins (primarily M91's and M91/30's) that have been captured (not built from the ground up off of a receiver) and still retain most of their Russian traits. Most of them will still carry the Russian markings on the barrel shank and will be stamped with a boxed SA Finnish property mark. Some of these rifles were put back into service without any modifications. Others had altered stocks, shims, sights, or triggers before they were put into service in the Finnish army. Here are examples of each type from my collection: 1942 VKT M39 - This rifle was built off of a Russian 1901 Izhevsk M91 receiver. The barrel, stock, sights, and trigger are all Finnish made. Other pieces such as the bolt parts and trigger guard are assembled from various Russian produced Mosin parts.
