      Interesting stock, I don't think I've ever seen one so mottled. Looks nice!

      Your rifle is definitely a 28-30. The serial number puts it in late 1939 production, the numbers run from 57XXX to 67XXX for 1939. It looks like it is probably a Finnish rebuild since the metal finish is so dark and flat. The original stock should have had a shield cartouche on the right side with "39" under it, I don't see that in the photo so it is probably a replacement. The good thing is the stock being a replacement really doesn't affect the value too much. It has the front reinforcing bolt, so it is the correct type of stock.

      When you get it, slug the bore before you shoot it, it may have a .308 bore and if so, I wouldn't recommend shooting surplus ammo through it.

      I hope it is not rude to ask, but I am curious how much did you pay for it?

      I collect Military Arms and enjoy shooting in local matches. I also collect older Lever Actions, especially those chambered in odd/old cartridges. If you have a nice old Winchester or Marlin in 25-20, 32-40, 38-55, 40-60, 45-70, etc etc, please PM me and we can work out a deal.
