My M39 turns out to be a m28
I ran across what I thought was a Mosin m39 in a little mom and pop. Turned out to be an M28. A good example of one, not the ski sling mount, Sig barrel, 12k serial, 1917 Tula receiver, 1928 gun, SY, and SA marked, numbers do not match but in good shape. I did not pay too much. Is this a good thing or bad thing? I still want an m39 though.

I found the "Russian Mosin Nagant" website and there is an interesting article on your rifle. It indicated that the M28 is a relatively rare find as many were lost in several of their wars. If you are into Mosins and their history I'd say it's a good find.

Years ago I bought 4 Mosins at a big gun auction. The collectors there weren't interested in them so I got away for $70 - $75 a piece. At home, I started researching markings and numbers and found I had an M27, one of the rarest Fins, and supposedly worth over $400 at the time. The thing is, how are you going to find the few people, who are Mosin crazy, who might pay up for one like that.

Thanks! I had not seen that one. But, I figured the m39 was going to complete my Mosin set. Now, I have to get another one ;-o.
