Picked up locally in a gun show. Always wanted a WWI Dragoon Mosin and this is as close as it gets. Finn mosins are great. Stock is off a M91/30. The second stock retaining ring is a little loose, an easy fix with a rubber mallet, but does not affect function and I left it be.
These old rifles carry lots of history, this one was probably rushed in the winter war. Seen some 1942, 1943 but not so many 1940 VKT.
Force matched bolt, as was common on Finnish mosins, numbers that I can see (other than the stock) all match but not selling with that guarantee.
Here's some info regarding these:

I have never fired it, got it as a collectors piece. The gentleman before me told me it shoots excellent.
$950 local pickup in Metro Vancouver, split shipping, it's very long and would probably be expensive.
