"Collectors Forum" - All Mosin Nagant are discussed here. Also the Russian and "Finnish capture" SVT38 and SVT40. This is an excellent place for new Mosin owners to ask questions. We have some of the best experts here looking forward to your questions. If you post a Mosin sniper rifle here, we may or may not move it to the sniper forum.
Preservation forum, please no altered military surplus rifles or discussions on altering in this forum. No sportsters. Please read the rules at the top of each forum
What you see is what there is, even if more were found they would be of the same type as we have had since 1986.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

The TKIV-85 is a highly modified M/N sniper rifle currently in service with Finland. When it's retired, I wouldn't be surprised if a few wound up here in the US.
Dang, I wish the OP had kept his mouth shut. Century will now come out with the new 91/30/59/88, a rare variant just recovered from some salt mine in Mongolia, reconditioned to new condition at Mitc..........$699.00
I don't know about all that but there is a Czech variant available, but all of the scoped models sold out a year ago. http://www.allans-armory.com/aaresult.php?PageId=50 look at the VZ54 about 3/4 way down the page
