[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 2634536, member: 13284"] Ronny, You just beat me to it. That's definitely not a Finn front sight (the sight ears are not the correct shape and there are no windage adjustment screws). I also think that it's off a Lee Enfield No 4 (sight ears are the stamped not milled version). I guess that makes it a Frankenmosinfield. The stock is similar to a Berthier as to its shape in the magazine area. I also noticed that it didn't have the crossbolts and the inletting for the bolt, but I'm just not aware of any other rifles with a similarly shaped stock. I still do believe that the barrel shank is dated 1944. If I remember correctly it was fairly common for the '44 dated Tula M44's to have re-used hex receivers. Unless bubba also changed the rear sight, the rifle was originally a carbine not a 91/30. [/QUOTE]
