Finned 1928 Izhevsk Dragoon - pics inside

[vit]

Picked this up last Sunday, but took a while to clean up. Took me a long time to find a Dragoon locally - first one I have seen. This is the roughest Mosin in my collection.
1928 Izhevsk - Finn spliced stock ( marked 905r under the butt plate) - bolt doesn't match - floor plate and butt plane not numbered . Counterbored and somewhat rough, but strong rifling - still cleaning it.

Here it is.

Awesome find man!

A little rough as you said but, cool. I don't have a Dragon yet. If I was still into the collecting mosin I would probably be looking for one.

She's a bit rought, but the first one I was able to find locally in some years.

I haven't seen any around here in a long long time. I would like to get one some day.

I bet that one would have a lot to say if it could talk. Are you planning on shooting it in the near future.

Neat find - I've got a Finn Dragoon as well - will have to dig it out and take some pix... :D

I've only owned one dragoon (a Finn) but gave it to a friend as thanks for some help, it's been the only one I've seen since.
