My question is, did the Finn reworks eliminate this issue? Do they shoot to POI without the bayo attached? Thanks, hope that's not a dumb question. I'm currently eyeballing a Peter the Great Finn rework with metal sling swivels. Thanks for any and all advice and info. Semper Fi -- Carl.

They even threw the small M-39 bayonets away rather than carrry them. (According to Finnish sources.) Finnish rifles that I have fired usually shoot close to POA, given allowances for ammo differences and eyeball differences. Nothing as far off as the Soviet rifles can be with/without a bayonet, so although I have no official source to quote, in my experience the Finns did not zero their rifles with a bayonet attached. FWIW, Regards.

Apparently it is a Finn M91 since it still has the Peter the Great eagle and 4 lines of cyrillic on the top of the barrel shank. The boxed SA is on the lower left of the shank just above the woodline. Last Edited By: ParrisIsland79 08/26/08 11:43 PM. Edited 1 times.

I concur with NotPC for sure about the bayonets. That is one of the reasons I shoot all my Russians with no bayonet also. I mean if the Finns could make their Mosins shoot well without a bayonet why can't you take a Russian Mosin and make it shoot POA without a bayonet extended or in place? That is why I get crazy when I see all this crap about having to use the bayonet and all to shoot accurately with a Mosin. Tell that to the Finnish Soldiers who killed an awful lot of Russians without bayonets being in place! Bill

The front sight is adjustable for windage, so just calibrate the front sight for whatever way you want to shoot the rifle. Curt
