Re: Some old M91's
The top one is a Remington contract M91. There is another that looks like it is Izhevsk. One of them at least has a Finland arms depot mark on the stock.

You got em right!Niner wrote:The top one is a Remington contract M91. There is another that looks like it is Izhevsk. One of them at least has a Finland arms depot mark on the stock.
The two M91 infantry rifles ar all matching originals.
One is a very late, high number 1915 New England Westinghouse, likely made in 1918, appeared unfired when I got it, as it was still full of cosmoline. ( I have another unfired NEW , not pictured,in an original shellac covered birch stock, but is not all matching, & is duffel cut.)
The other is a slightly used but not abused 1917 Remington M91 with the #40 rack number on the butt.
The two in the lower post are both M91 dragoons made by Izhevsk arsenal.
One is a Finn capture 1918 in a Finnish potbelly stock, while the other is a Spanish Civil War 1926 in a BEAUTIFUL fiddleback(tiger-striped) European walnut stock.
I received these rifles as incomplete parts guns from the heirs of a deceased collector in the fall of 2008.
I paid less than $100.00 dollars US for each one, though acquiring the neccessary parts to complete them took some dealing.
I had to get some of the parts from Finland!
Chris, you know Lemmy. Those are his M91 barrel bands.

Re: Some old M91's
Nice rifles!
Have to find a Dragoon some day for my collection too.
Lemmy is a good guy, he helped me also a lot and has good contacts to other collectors in Finland.
