Figuring no way in heck, I put in a bid of $100... .........I won! So in one week I get 2 Finns. There is no cure for Mosinitis. You can only scratch the itch by buying yet another one. This makes #9 and #10. The M39 is scheduled for delivery Tuesday. I just sent in payment for the 91/30. Pics when I get 'em! Go ahead, make my day.

I thought I was through then ran across the Finn M28. $219.00 for it. It is nice. Don't want to high jack your thread, but what do you think about changing wood on a round receiver for wood on a hex. Will they exchange. The one I want to sell has the stock I want to keep. The one I want to keep has the stock I want to sell. shotout

As a collector, I would be less inclined to buy a rifle if the stock was swapped out. Pahtu.

It is hard for me to get a up close good focus of the complete firearm. Looks like some glare was present in your photo, other than that I don't see much wrong with it. Some camera's may have ability for good details on shots like yours, but mine don't. Speaking of posting pics, where is the posting rig on this forum? shotout.

Range was fifty yards to see what kind of groups I can get with unassisted standard Mark I eyeballs. (Which ain't so hot nowadays) Top group, my 150 gr. SP reloads Bottom Group, Czech Silvertip 147 gr. milsurp Point of aim, the same for both groups, standard 6 o'clock. Go ahead, make my day.

I was ready to break out my brass punch and hammer. She dead nutz on, now! Go ahead, make my day.

Just make sure you get the bolts tightened down after getting the windage set where you want it. A friend of mine has to use Loctite on them, as they tend to loosen up with heating during firing and the shock of recoil. Curt
