I GOT MY FIRST FINN! A TIKKA GUNSHOW PICKUP(PICS ADDED)
Hey guys on my way home from gunshow and I'm crazy excited.I just picked up a new Mosin Nagant that was in a crate all the way in back corner labeled sako nagant. It had a bunch of izzys piled on top I saw it with my cell phone flash light and dig it out. It was in a crate marked $117 but guy said he wanted $125 for it. It has a gorgeous stock and is a hex receiver.I have no clue what I'm looking at so ill need all your help out there. Be home in 20 minutes then ill post a bunch of pics. This is sweet looking and way different from other Finns I saw displayed at show for $350 plus.

Nice, now stop using the phone and driving. Or give me your location and route so I can pick it up after the crash. Will be waiting on pics. No rush.

Let me make a short, open, blanket comment. There are no good guns. There are no bad guns. Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a descent person is no threat to anyone--- except bad people. -- Charleton Heston
Guns are not good, they are not evil. Save those descriptions for the people holding the firearm. -- Unknown

Lol I was still in parking lot had to tell you guys before I couldnt even leaveBuckeyeSgt wrote:Nice, now stop using the phone and driving. Or give me your location and route so I can pick it up after the crash. Will be waiting on pics. No rush.
And there were a lot of Mosins there crate after crate and a wall of them but they were all 41 43 Izhevsk and a few Tula no ex snipers no MO ,or DDR marked a few carbines both Russian and Chinese. And a 33 Izhevsk hex with laminated stock. I had to make pit stop at my aunts house I will be home around 8ish and get pics right up so you guys can helpbme identify the model. I'm usually not lucky but went to this show specifically looking for a catch. It's my one and only Finn.

Where are the photos? The world wonders.
On Facebook? Check out the non-sporter preservationist group at: OOOPS. Deleted by Facebook because it's evil to even discuss collectible firearms on social media these days.

Nice 1943 Tikka. Now tear her down and look at the tang date. I'd say you did real well on the price. Close to double in value. Finnish sling hangers, cleaning rod.
