Incomplete

A problem with Mosins is nearly every single one has been through an arsenal refinish (or two).

A good example could be this rifle (link could be dead since they're only active for a limited time at Gunbroker)


That's a Remington Mosin-Nagant M-1891 a'ight.


Looks to be in fine shape too!

But what's this?  That looks like a Sako stock, hard to tell.

And this?  That's an Izhevsk bolt.

The numbers matching at this point is a clear clue that it's an arsenal rework, the Imperial crests being intact on both the shank and barrel kind of point at it being a Finn.

To be fair, the seller did show us these pics so he's not trying to pull a fast one.  It does illustrate how hard it is to get a "real" Remington.
