[7.62x54r]

Originally posted by Tuco

The PR.2 marking seems to only appear on Tikka M91’s - The marking also is under the woodline or right on the woodline in reported cases. If you have a rifle so marked please share some information here -

1) What model is the rifle?
2) Who is the maker of the rifle (barrel if a Finnish rifles)?
3) What is the date of the barrel?
4) What is the serial number of the rifle? (OK for those that have to use the XXX in place of serial numbers please give us something close such as 2222X and not 22XXX)

Thanks as this might start to pin down the meaning of this marking.

On this rifle it seems clear that the PR 2 marking was applied after the SA, perhaps it is a post war marking.
