Gil,

I like the Mosins, especially those made in Finland. We had our big gun show last weekend nearby and I found a matching Finnish M1891 Mosin made in "1942" in mint condition with bayonet, double ammo pouch, sling and oiler for $150.00. The [SA] indicates it was on the right side in the Great Patriotic War. The Finns called it the Continuation War to get back the lands Russia grabbed in 1939-1940.

I shot it today with .308 diameter jacketed bullets and .309" cast Lyman #311467 bullets and it held the 10 ring at 100 yards at the same sight setting. Looking at the fluctuating stock market, I prefer to invest in iron. Be well.

Adam
