Also, forgot to mention that many of the early Finn Mosins have bore diameters that slug around .308 and may not be safe for shooting modern surplus. However, a "D" stamp on the barrel shank means that the rifle was rechambered for .310-.311 and is safe for shooting modern 7.62x54r.

X2 this, the market is a little soft right now. Ski trooper models have 2 sling slots in the buttstock and usually fetch another 100 or so. If you completely disassemble it there's a 2 digit number on the barrel, which is the year of manufacture

They are good shooters if they have the m91 style rear sight. Wanna trade? Lol......

It does have the sight in the link I posted which should be M91, front sight has the ears to protect the sight blade.

Here she is. 1928 Schweiz Industrie-Gesellschaft, Neuhausen Finn Mosin Nagant, marked SY (Civil Guard). The M28 rear sight is similar to the M27 and also utilizes a Russian M91 base and leaf assembly with modifications. The base does not have an extra notch cut at the rear, retaining the standard five. They are numbered 3, 4, 5 1/2, 7, and 8 1/2, representing hundreds of meters, on the right side of the base only. It has the early 2 piece nosecap and the reinforced stock bushings on front and rear. Trigger feels very light. Bolt and receiver are Finn matched. Has some interesting markings on the rear stock facing. Very cool piece!
