Finns

Post by desdem12 »

There is a big wind storm here last night and today so i am a not goin out side. Wind at close to 40mph sustained and gusts around 70 mph. It was a little hairy last night and i had to go secure some stuff in the back yard and it was not fun. Luckily i am semi protected by a hill directly at the end of my back yard. So with nothing better to do i took a few pics of most of the finns. :thumbsup:
Notice the plum colored M39 is not a B barrel TopperT. :biggrin:

Nice! When I see great looking m39s like those it makes me wonder what Mr. Mosin and Mr. Nagant would think. :D

Nice collection of Finns!

Here's my small collection of Finns. Well, at least one is a legit Finn, the other is a Finn capture.

Top: 1940 Tikka
Bottom: 1933 Izhevsk, later captured by the Finns and sporting Finn, as well as Russian, markings.

My only other present finns are 2 of my most favorite rifles, along with the SCW Dragoon. Matching pair of 1939 [SA] D and 41 marked Izhevsk and Tula captured rifles. The izhevsk has some nice stock damage from war use. :biggrin:

Was expecting fish appendages. But the guns were a pleasant surprise.

Those 2 captured and the Sako M39 are all the finns i have ever seen here. The M39 was from a gun show and so was the Tula capture. I wish some others would show up. :D

“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.
