$30 to $50. Those darn Finn bubbas always wrecking good Soviet Milsurps. Since your new to this and all and I feel generous, I could use it for parts and give you ......... say $75.

Semper Fi, Rob.


Actually I think they are running from a low of $200 to up around $300. Check closed auctions on gunbroker for the most recent selling prices.

What arsenal? Year? how many Finn modifications does it have? Finn matched bolt, or no matching numbers? Stock finish if it's still in a Soviet stock? Any special markings past the SA stamp? All of this can have a bearing on value.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

For an Izhevsk or Tula $200-$300 is the ballpark these days as Sgt. Rob stated. Now if it's still in Dragoon configuration add $100+ to the price.

Wow, that shouldn't have been a long decision. Finn (capture or not), looks good, $150 - BUY ITand then post pics. Run of the mill refurbs are now retailing for $200 and there is no comparison between the two. Good lesson learned though. Hang around here for a while and watch the pricing on GB and you will get an idea what some of these rifles are worth. So when that $100 Romanian M-44 or $150 91/59 or the $90 Laminated 9130 comes up, you don't think - check it out and BUY IT :D.

The days of finding listings for: "old rushin rifle $75" are long gone.
Although my favorite is still my first order M28 double slot that was listed as: "civiil guard rifle"

Which would have been nice too if the description had been accurate. Any of these Finns are awesome to find.

$75? I would have shit a brick! Back in the day I saw some joker at a flea market trying to sell some old Russian rifle for $75, no takers of course, not at that ridiculous price. We went round and round and settled on a much more reasonable $40 for such an old relic that nobody but me would have bought anyway. Took me ten years to learn that it was a Finn M28/30 :biggrin:
