Hello, I would like to see if anyone can help me identify an old gun stock I bought. Looks to me like an old black powder gun or something along those lines. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like a Finnish Mosin Nagant 91/30 stock.

It's a Mosin Nagant stock.

Thank you very much. An older lady had it sitting on her porch and I thought it looked kinda cool

Think it’s worth anything?

It's in rough shape and no handguard or end caps but it appears to be a war time stock from what I can see of the splice. Are there any stamps at all on the butt? I'm sure it would be worth something to the right person but no idea on value.

Pretty cool find though.

The buttstock is also 2 pieces it's not broken. Don't sand it or do anything to try & clean it up!

It's worth whatever you paid for it.

I only paid $69 for my whole gun, lock, stock, and barrel, but that was a few years ago!

I agree. She told me I could have it for free. I only had $10 on me and I wouldn’t take it unless she took the money. Very happy with it.

I only see one little stamp on the stock. I’ll try to get a good pic

Appears to be a stockmakers cartouch with letter L but doesn't help. Take a look at Njanear's m91/30 collection it has some good info on Finnish stocks.

ok thx. I’ll check into it. I have no clue on older guns like that. I clean guns for ppl (mainly ARs, AKs, old shotguns and pistols. Stuff like this is def out of my realm of knowledge lol

 

[MKC1911]

I like the old stuff but have forgotten more than I remember LOL! Love trying to figure stuff out though!

91/30 Russian two piece design, Finn Arctic Birch wood, the "crossed cannons L" stock makers cartouche only tells you that Sako didn't make it, no data on who did, that I can find.

George, it can easily be 10 times that now!

Yes, the Mosin’s( as well as everything else) has gone crazy . You used to be able to buy them by the dozen for less than one goes for now. $50-60 or less was common back in the 90’s.
