Looks like you have a Soviet era 1935 rifle. If I interpret the numbers correctly, it was taken into Finnish Army “41” mark and refurbished by the Finnish arsenal. It had a D chamber marking which is good. It will shoot typical modern ammo like PPU fine.
More markings:

The Finns reassembled and matched parts, so it’s a Finn rifle.

It looked like a 5 and not a 3, but at any rate the “41” was a mark found on captured weapons. It’s not necessary a year. It probably went through a typical Finnish arsenal refurbish meaning they took all the best parts and created a better rifle than the original. The only serial numbers that should match are the bolt and receiver. It has a Finn barrel most likely. Show us full pics of the rifle.

You should probably take it off the stock to read more symbols. Does it have any markings on the barrel? Looks like the Soviet front sight. Some Finns retained it, look at the link I gave you. It leads to misc info.

As far as I could tell, it’s not clear why the number 41. It just is found on captured arms.
Certainly a lot of fun looking through the parts and figuring out what the Finns did.

Was Soviet is a big was. Finns improved everyone of the captures. The bolt is most likely reassembled with various parts, some Soviet or Russian even US. If you want to complete, you’ll need a Soviet one that has not been molested by Finns. LoL.

Darn, I'd have to buy another one...how heartbreaking, I mean, I hate buying old milsurps, giving all the stuff to research.

Well if the Finns got that in 33 then it’s not a capture. The Winter War didn’t start till late 1939 and that would have been their first opportunity to capture weapons. It’s Finn matched so it’s a Finn for sure. Yes take it off the stock and see what the tang says as CDFingers noted.
