Nice choice!!! Can't wait to hear how it shoots!

The Finns were known for an all sniper army. The superior accuracy of their rifles is well known. It was Russia's failure to invade Finland that convinced Hitler Russia could be taken. You should read "Rifles of the White Death". Click on this link:

Does anybody know where I could purchase a Finnish Mosin. I plan on getting one I just don't know if I want an M39 or an M91. I am really looking at getting one that will be a real shooter.

gneep!

Why is it, everybody who wants a Finn only knows M39 and M91? There's an M24, an M27, an M28 and an M28-30! A whole, beautiful range of Mosins to slobber over... AND accurate, to boot!

Personally, I want an M28 or maybe an M27... And that's only if I can't lay hands on a nice Finn Model 29 with the blonde wood attachments as shown below:

I know of the other Finn models I just thought that either an M39 or M91 would be the easiest to get because they were made in the highest numbers.
