Just bought this from a fellow ODTer, but got a lead on a Lee Enfield I'd rather have, so putting this back up.
This is without doubt one of the most unusual Mosins I've had. Features are as follows:
This is not an ‘ex Dragoon’, but an actual Dragoon, albeit an oddity.
1928 Izhevsk barrel mated to a 1921 Tula receiver
Not one matching number, not an import mark to be found anywhere.
‘Konovalov’ rear sight, 91/30 style globe front sight.
Sling swivel holes drilled and filled at the forestock, and under the buttstock (much like the Austrian style)
Faint roundel on right of butt with graffiti, Cyrillic 'A' on left with graffiti.
No evidence of Finnish or SCW use. Patina is absolutely consistent throughout the rifle. This piece has been around.
A definite oddity. I paid $400, I'll take $400.
