The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Well, I'm back after a leave of absence. I'm going to slowly post my collection, which some of you from gunboards may recognize, others are recent additions I haven't posted anywhere yet. To start with, I am posting my 1940 Finn VKT M91. Not in great shape, it's still a beautiful rifle and I'm fairly happy with it as a shooter. These are generally not a respected model, considered to be inferior to SAKO and Tikka in the same way Izhevsk is considered inferior to Tula for no real reason. I always liked VKT rifles, so let me know what you think.

I haven't heard about all this inferior concerns before on any of these. I have heard some people have preferences.
Nice rifle.

If you feel it is feeling inferior please send it to me. I will enroll it in my rehab center for inferior feeling Mosins.

VKT, Sako, Tikkakoski, all built to exactly the same specs, same exact rifle with different markings. Nice find

Nice looking m91 you have there. I do love these long rifles.

I think I'd like to have it!

That looks like a very respectable M91 to me. I like it.

Nice State rifle. Like the old style vkt mark

Nice color on the stock. ... kind of a dark cherry

Looks good. Any Finn rifle is a good Finn rifle IMO.

What I find funny is there were more rifles made at Tikka than VKT... Yet it seems there is still a preference to Tikka out there. I like them all; And this one is no exception. Looking good...
