Magnificent beautifull babies you got their. What ammo did you fired? (Check headstamps on the rounds and post em, i'll search me soviet cartidge book)
Thanks! It was fun to experience so much mosin history in one day.

Well, to be honest I'm not terribly sure about the manufacturer of the ammo. The markings on the back say 188 along the top rim and 75 along the bottom rim of the case. There are no markings on the primer. The tip of the bullet has silver paint on it as well. I don't have a good enough camera handy at the moment to take a photo for you.

No need, you have 147 grain, steel core ammo, made by Klimov/Novosibirsk, in 1975. Great rounds, i have a case myself,but from 1978. This is great surplus ammo.

Thanks for the info! The ammo also isn't nearly as dirty as some of the other surplus I've shot in the past. The only downside to this ammo is that I won't be able shoot it at certain ranges in the US -- some of them don't want steel core ammo.

I'd like the see a picture of the receiver tang of your Tikka 1891. Usually there is a 2, 3 or 4 digit date and an arsenal mark. Could tell you more about it with that information. They're nice rifles, I have VKT refinished one from 1941, it's the most accurate rifle in my collection. I have 7 other Mosins to compare it to and 15 rifles total, so that says a lot about their quality.

Not all of the WW1 goodies I have, but it represents the main rifles used in the front line at one point of the war at least.

Nice, yeah once I figured out the sight picture on my Finn M91 I was hitting the target every time off-hand at 100 yards. Amazing.

I'll be sure to take a picture of the receiver tang the next time I disassemble the rifle. It's not the easiest rifle to take apart (im always afraid of scratching the wood finish when getting the barrel bands off).

There are many Turk Mauser types that they used ;)  Find one you like, and it should also work for representing Greece.
