I have been a long time Remington user here in Australia and have had Remington 700s for the past 35 years.
I am also a keen militaria collector and student of the Great War, so a Remington M91 Mosin Nagant has long been the top of my list.
Well one recently found me, but not in the way I would have liked - a dear friend passed away and left it to me in his will.
I didn't get too excited when I saw "Remington M91" on the list of firearms I'd inherited because my mate was a keen Finnish rifle collector and I assumed that only the ghost of the original remained after the customary re-build.
Well, it turns it it's about 95 per cent original Remington - the top wood and bands have been replaced - and all matching:
It's a 1916, so I can assume it was one of the rifles that was actually issued to Russian troops:
Even the rear sight is still graduated in Arshins (an infantry pace of about .75 of a yard):
The cocking piece number matches:
And so does the bolt:
As I said, not the way I would have liked to have acquired a Remington, but this one has found a good home ...
