Gun show finn
Gun show finn
Found a 41 marked finn capture at a gun show. I hope I didn't pay too much, but I really wanted it. It has matching no.s on bolt and barrel. Not a forced match. I think this is what they call a stacked front sight. and it has the wartime spliced stock. Not too bad condition, but is counterbored. shoots fine though.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: Gun show finn
I paid $200.00 I knew it was worth more than the re-arsenal $100 ones, but was unsure as to how much more

Re: Gun show finn
You had a good hunch that paid off nicely. It is one sweet looking Finn rifle
Re: Gun show finn
Great score, I can't believe two of these showed up by two different users in as many days.. Both of which were great deals !! I still hope to join the Finn fam tomorrow ;)

Re: Gun show finn
Nice rifle.
Did you get it from a dealer selling a variety of rifles or from a guy only selling Mosins? At the shows i go to the Mosin guy who sells out of the crate only ever has arsenal refurbs with nothing out of the ordinary in there.

Re: Gun show finn
He is a dealer who has a little of this and a little of that. He told me they came from an estate he bought out. The guy was a collector in the eighties, he said. I also got an eddystone 1917 from him in really nice shape with matching bolt, all eddystone parts bright bore, 575.00. This might have been a too high price, but the 1917's just keep going up.
