Everybody loves a Mutt, pure breads are nice, but there is something about a mutt you just have to like, and this 1909 Sestroryetsk M91 is no exception.
It shows signs of its Balkan Heritage, with the ground Imperial Crests, and is a real mix master , the stock is off a 1915 Izhevsk and the barreled action contains parts from Sestroryetsk, Chatellerault, Izhevsk, and Tula (both pre and post 1928). As an added bonus the rifle also came with a Tula bayonet and the total package was priced less than the cost of a typical refurb'ed 91/30.
