The ole Digital gave up the farm after my last Finn trip. It's in the shop being repaired but I'll get those 91/30 pictures to you. The mauser style bayonet mount is really odd.

Very interesting!! I will dig a little and compare some of the bayonet devices before answering.

BTW: In this thread there are nearly all of the holy grails of MNs.

Herr Wrobel,

It appears that the bayonet attachment unit is from a French rifle like a Berthier. Where would such a thing come from on a Russian rifle? Where French rifles used in Russian army units?

GERMAN

One person guessed it was a german type bayonet lug.

Perhaps that is some kind of modified Imperial German bayonet lug. The only thing that it looks like may be a Gewher 1888 bayonet attachment ring.?

Yuri,

as some rifles m/91 were modified with G88 front band during WW1 it could be possible here too, though not very likely, as this is a WW2 rifle. I asked for large photos of the front band to look for details, but it seems that up to now RGR WJB had no time to make them.
