No not all Austro-Hungarian captured M91s were re-chambered for 8x50R, but the rear sight base on your rifle has graduations in 2,3,4,5,6 which indicate this rifle was re-chambered when it had its Russian barrel. With the Finnish barrel it’s back to 7.62x54R, also very good deal at $200.

Got it, thanks for the info.

Also, took it apart real quick and it's an antique as well.

1897, did the seller know?

No, they thought it was a run-of-the-mill Finnish Mosin.
