Re: Finn M24 "Lotta"
I think I just had a heart attack! Dolk, do you shoot this one? You have some nice pieces, and this may be one of my favorites.
Re: Finn M24 "Lotta"
Still on the wish list, for me.
Now, you are making the "wish" feeling grow strong. Very nice rifle, and the first in the line of well-built variations from the Finns. Congrats.

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.

Re: Finn M24 "Lotta" #4
If I could acquire one of these it would definitely be my holy grail. I see all of the above have the German mfg. Barrels. Didn't they also make these with Sig barrels?

Yes there are SIG barreled ones.

The M24 is the only major Finn variant I haven't seen out in the wild.
Nice M24s you guys.

Re: Finn M24 "Lotta" #4
I lucked into mine. I had checked out all the milsurps in the local pawn and gun, and was on my way out the door, when I just happened to spot the Finn sling hangers on a rifle behind the counter. Funny thing about it, was it was marked as a Russian 91/30. $119. They actually had a few refurb 91/30s and they had them priced at $220. I love it when sellers don't know what they have.

Funny enough, that sounds exactly like how I found my "Russian Nagant, $100" that was cleverly disguised as an m28/30.millman wrote:I lucked into mine.

All of the actual 91/30s and Nagant revolvers were $200

Re: Finn M24 "Lotta" #4
That's because they are so shiny and new looking, not all junky
Re: Finn M24 "Lotta" #4
Glad to hear that some of you guys make some great deals. as to the original subject what a nice rifle.
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

Re: Finn M24 "Lotta" #4
I remember that Millman. I had just found mine for a steal-of-a-deal and had just finished explaining to my wife how "uncommon" they were. Then the next day you found yours cheaper than mine and a guy on another forum found his.
