Found this last Sunday at the fun show. I'm very happy with the rifle and paid $325 OTD.
It's a SAKO with a 1896 receiver, 1944 SAKO barrel with a wartime stock, so I would guess this rifle was built in 1944 then put in storage after the fighting was over. Receiver, Barrel, Bolt, trigger guard / magazine all have matching serial numbers.
The stock has a few dings here and there but is still very nice. The bore looks bright and shiny. I ran some patches through the bore with some #9 and Sweets both came out clean.
I haven't gotten out to shoot it yet but am really looking forward to it. It balances nicely and is really easy to hold steady offhand due to the weight.
Compared to my other Mosin Nagants it has FAR Superior sights, thicker stronger stock, real sling attachments (No dog collar needed!), and a nice 2 stage trigger.
The Finns knew how to improve the M91!
