    I also like them. The history of this model rifle is a study all by itself. Enjoy yours, it will grow on you.

    Very nice. I've a few, like shooting the M39 and 28-30 the most.

    When did you get the M28? They are hard to come by now.

    The rifles were from the 1980's m27,m28,m28-30. Yes they are rare today and when seen they can sell for $600-700 for a nice one today.This were made in small numbers like 20,000 to 50,000. Very hard to find today in decent shape. Look on gunbroker under Finnish rifles. Good luck.

    Well, I found out by research that my Hex reciever 91/30 is a finish rework, from 1942....russian stopped making the hex rec. in 1937 so it makes mine a prertty old rifle..Plus under all that grease was a nice looking barrel..Did a bunch of reading over on 7.62r . net..thanks Sean for pointing me in the right direction..OG>

    My M39 is made from a Tula receiver dated 1896. Gotcha' by a couple of years.

    Yep, I love 'em too. I have one of each flavor, VKT, SKY, SACO and "B". However, if you want the very best Finnish Mosin.....google Finnish M28-76. Probably the "best made" Mosin would be the Factory 11 Polish M44....but that ain't Finnish.
