Finnish Model 1891 which has been re-barreled with a Belgian steel barrel, hence the "B" marking on the barrel at the receiver. There are a couple of theories about the Belgian supplied barrels: 1- It is a Belgian made barrel supplied by Germany as war aid of which only 2000 were 1891 barrels and all are dated 1942 (like the one on this rifle). 2. It is made from a Belgian barrel blank which Finland ordered in 1939. These blanks were also used on the M39 rifles. This rifle is deactivated and we didn't do it! The bolt is welded solidly into the rifle and the barrel is plugged up to within 1/2 inch of the muzzle.
