Very nice coondawg, PL marked with no SA stamp I believe that is very uncommon if not rare. Maybe some of the Finn gun nuts here can verify this. Congrats good score.

“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The Finns did Mosin's right. Triggers, barrels and stocks only the best would do. Sako hunting rifles are top shelf too. Thank you Finland!
