M91 Finn that got me started

Post by BuckeyeSgt »

This wasn't the first one I bought but it's the first one that got me to start looking at Mosins. This rifle sat in an office of a friend's for two years. He had no clue what it was. So I started researching the marks. I bought my first one, a 91/30 refurb at Cabelas for $90. Then I asked him if he would sell his. Let's just say it cost me less than what I paid for the 91/30.

Yea, the Finned 1891 are amazing. They just seem to be covered in history, were around before the Russian revolution and no red shellac. :biggrin:
We have met the enemy and he is us.

Either not married, or you bought a can of Scotch* Cosmoline Guard to spray on the couch fabric.

Oh, there is a third option - you took pics while the woman was away, and blamed the stains on the dog.

Nice gun, BTW. 8-)
No words of wisdom come to mind at this time....

Yes she was gone, and because of the dog and kids it does have some kind of protector. I haven't found the cosmoline guard though. They sell that at Wally World? It might be a good investment. :D I'm still looking for some chem light batteries and a box of grid squares if any one has any. :D
