Amazing how probably one shipment of rifles went to a Russian unit and were captured by the Finns and two ended up in the DFW area. Probably came from the same Soviet division.

Hey Bunky, I have a Finn with a blued bolt, too. Do you know the story behind that? Yours is the only other I've seen like that, that I've noticed anyway.

No I don't know much about it, but all of the searching I have done about it turned up only vague comments. It seems apparent that the Finns didn't blue that many, and it didn't appear that they were trying to cover any defect, so I trend to think that they had a specific purpose. Perhaps night time use? That is my thought, and nothing that I have seen anywhere else. When I won this auction the blued bolt was not mentioned in the description, and the pics were not in the best light but I saw the blued bolt and had to have it. Can you get pics of yours?

Sure, will do. I mentioned it in another thread and MN Fan wanted me to get pics of it... I was procrastinating like I tend to do :?
I'll take some pics and post them in the original thread.

I promised myself I would never buy Tulas or Finns. I broke my promise. But, only three doesn't really count. No, I ain't gonna go back and edit the photo, so don't even go there. :D

My 1927 Tikkakoski M91 built on a 1894 Izhevsk receiver. The barrel on this one has been trimmed and set back. Typical two peice Finnish stock, with a repair behind the tang.

Are you talking about the Type 30 and the M28/30 that I've got in the showcase or rifles in the big group shot?
