Just picked up a '43 Izzy 91/30, no signs of Finn capture or ex-sniper. Straight to me in the Century box so whoever did this was in Russia. So how unusual is it to find shims on Soviet mosins? There are two shims in the stock on top and two on the bottom. Metal looks like galvinized tin? Why would they have shimmed it?
