From top to bottom:
1. My younger son's 1916 Tula 'Peter the Great' 91/10.
2. My older son's 1945 Ishevsk M44.
3. My 1944 Ishevsk round-receiver 91/30.
4. My nephew's 1935 Tula hex-receiver 91/30.
5. My 1944 Finnish Sako M39.
6. My 1943 Finnish Sako M39, with a Monte Carlo Stock.
I rescued the last one because I felt sorry for it. It has an excellent bore and good two-step trigger, and I'll be putting an unissued post-war stock on it from Tennessee Gun Parts. The bands are also readily available, but there seems to be a remarkable shortage of hand guards in the world. If worst comes to worst, I've never seen anything made of wood I couldn't duplicate...I'll buy a piece of birch and copy the hand guard from my other Finn.
