100+ Years of service for Finnish army Mosins coming to an end

Post by Jallukola »

The Finnish Defence Forces are seeking to replace the Mosin-based 7.62 Tkiv 85 sniper rifles with "rifle system K22", developed by Sako. This will eventually be the end for FDF use of Mosins, although the replacement will take much longer than few years, so the Tkiv 85 won't be hitting the surplus market anytime soon.

Even when they do they aren't cheap.
