New Information Centre for Finnish Firearms and Other Things
New Information Centre for Finnish Firearms and Other Things
After copying over 28,000 pages from the National Archives of Finland and the National Library of Finland, I decided to start sharing some of the copyright free material with you. I have opened a new web page at www.traditional.fi where I will deposit material after I have edited them into suitable format. Some documents will be available in English, some will be translated into English if possible, but the much of the material will only be available initially in Finnish or Swedish. New material is planned to be added every week.
For the time being, I have no index page, but I will post document links to this thread until I have created one.
UPDATED 27 JUNE 2018:
- Ballistics Charts for D166
- Civil Guard M/28-30 Booklet in English
- Adoptation of the Type 56-2 assault rifle by the Finnish Defence Forces
- Unofficial SVT-40 Manual by the Finnish Defence Forces, 1941
- Civil Guard Rifle Storage Instructions, 1934

Thank you.
“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.
C. S. Lewis
