jon lynn,

You guessed correctly with "B", European. I had to go to town for groceries and arranged to see an "Army Rifle for $75.00." It was a lovely (Very Good +) Model 1938 Mosin Nagant 7.62 X 54MMR Short Rifle. It was VG in and out, but had no sling loops, but was a very nice matching piece.

It shoots to the sights with 148 grain ball ammo. I water cleaned the bore and have a nice Short Rifle to go along with the two horses in the barn here at the farm.

This is the last thread I shall ever open on this site. I will respond to other posts, BUT shall never again open a thread here. Be well, my friends.

Adam

Keep opening the threads with your new (old) purchases. I may never respond to them, but I read every one.

I don't get a chance to see many old military arms around here except for what I have in my gun cabinet.

I would for one love to see pictures of these rifles you find Adam.

It would be worth it just to listen to you in person about your knowledge of old arms.

Keep up the posts!
