This is the other gun picked up in the deal with the Rem. M91. Early stocked M38, no import marks. Only matching s/n's are shank and buttplate.

“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.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

It was worth looking at that one again! Good and honest Finn capture carbine.
No words of wisdom come to mind at this time....

Ok I found this after reading about your M91 Remington. Well this answers my question. This is a super find. To find and acquire this with the Remington at the same time is just too cool. I like these a lot.
