These are my true favorites of the surplus rifle world.
The Finns kicked the Russian a$$es in a way I dont think ole Uncle Joe Stalin ever thought was possible. I have loved Finnish Mosin-Nagants since the first time I got to handle one, then when I shot it, the love ran deep and true. But I digress.
Here are three of the five I have, top to bottom:
"secret" M39 dated 1970 sporting a Russian PU scope, this rifle has the most sensitive trigger I have ever felt on an issue service rifle.
1933 Tikka M27 with bayonet, counterbored slightly at the muzzle
1939 Izzy M91/30, finnish stock and triger are the only replacement parts that the Finns added.
I have two M91s in pieces, one complete and the other needs a replacement stock, handguard, and cleaning rod. Bubba to it and ruined a beautiful New England Westing house Imperial Russian contract M91 dated 1917. Thankfully the only damage to the barreled action was some polishing and cold bluing.
