... aaaaand the locals thought - and still think - that 'nagant' is old timey slang for a pistol of any kind. Doesn't have to be the revolver. Kind of how old gangster movies say piece, cannon, etc. The 't' is obviously silent.Beautiful Mosin rifle, brought to its potential by those wily Finns.
Remember, Mosin designed the rifle. He added the magazine designed by the Belgian revolver maker, Nagant.

The komissars during the revolution, on their way to pillaging the people and burning down the country, mostly carried the Nagant revolver and the name stuck. Only the ones really connected had a Broomhandle, even though that's what was typically captured by propaganda.
This here rifle is a 3 Line Rifle, or 'trehlineyka' as they say it.

All Russian Mosins and Finnish Mosins are three line rifles. The Krag, 1903, M1917, 03A3, Garand, and M14 are also three line rifles.
The term "Line" or "Arshin" was a form of measurement in the late 19th century. One "Line" was equal to .100 inches.
Mosins have "Three Line" bores. Or a .300 bore.
1944 all matching except but plate sako fin model 39 nice refiling, shinny bore

Matching, non-matching doesn’t make a difference with these rifles. I don’t know anyone who cares about anything other than whether the bolt is Finn-matched. If any other part matches, it’s a bonus but no extra money goes into that. Nice, strong cartouche.
bolt is stamped sa
The bolt, or the barrel shank? Bolt shouldn’t be stamped with an [SA].
Nice! Thanks for the photos. Have a soft spot in my heart for M39s, esp. Sakos. Been on the hunt for a '41 straight stock Sako for years now.
