Finn Mosin M28-76 Sniper Trainer, Shooting Marksman Comp. - 7.62X54R
Description: According to guntweaks, "The Finnish M28-76 is considered one of the finest models ever produced. As indicated by the name, the M28-76 is a 1976 update to the World War II-era M28 ... Post-war, most Finnish Mosin-Nagants were put into storage but a select few were upgraded and converted to competitive sharpshooting, sniper training, and border duty, finally culminating with the design of 1976 and thus, the M28-76...Only about 1,000 were imported to the USA." We find this model to be matching numbers with the barrel,receiver, and bolt. Our CMP muzzle gauge puts it at 0.5 on the lands. When we mic the area on this gauge, it comes to .3009. This would certainly indicate a .308 bore which is most often consistent with 28-30 barrels which were used to create 28-76s. There is no D-166 chamber alteration stamp on the barrel. No maker, 1968 on the barrel shank. This would indicate that this would have been made from a 28-30 leftover barrel. This trigger has been constructed from a Model 27 two-stage target type. This magazine has the HV type indicating longer cartridge capabilities. Receiver tang date is unreadable so we cannot verify its date of manufacture. Therefore, we cannot identify this rifle as antique. The stock is one-piece birch and has no repairs which are often found on this model. Original rear peep sight as well as rear leaf sight and tunnel-variety fronnt sight with ability to change front profile. Original rear aperature will come with this rifle. Hard rubber rear buttpad is in near-perfect condition. This would indicate very little use as these were vulnerable to contact with numerous surfaces. Shipping: We strongly recommend barreled action be removed during shipping. History shows these stocks have been vulnerable to shipping accidents with the extra leverage in play. We will also ship this rifle in a hard case at our cost which should assist in protection. Please see pictures for details.
