Hi all,

I have found a Mosin Nagant M91 from 1895. The stock is blonde and seems to be in near unissued condition. However, it appears to have been made from two pieces of wood (It does have a cartouche on the rear of the stock from which I can't find anything about on the web). Also, it is not import marked. Any ideas on how this got into the United States and any idea of how original this stock is? One theory I have heard is that it was a GI capture and then the GI cutdown the stock to bring it back in his duffle bag (Maybe brought two cutdown stocks.)

Here's a link
