With the Albanian SKS's coming onto the market, is there such a thing as an Albanian Mosin-Nagant? So far I've seen Russian, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, and Chinese.

Good question, I seem to recall that Tuco or Vic answered that there were none known to be marked Albanian, like the Polish, Hungarian, et. al. They had whatever they were supplied with.
If you haven't already, I will pose the question on the Gunboards.com General forum to see what, if anything, has changed.

M91 and M91/30....I learn something every day. See: http://www.mosin-nagant.net/variations_of_the_rifles_mosin.html

I forget that this little piece of reference material is available...Karl-Heinz Wrobel has done extensive research and has published a synopsis at the above link. Sorry for the initial misinformation. I spoke before I looked. :rolleyes:

Ok...go to my post on Gunboards.com and take a look at the pic that was posted of an Albanian mark. It appears to be crossed hammers. Take a look here: http://www.gunboards.com/forums/UltraBoard.cgi?action=Read&BID=5&TID=34183&SID=1012874

I knew that someone on one of the boards would have a pic of the mark for you.
HTH,
