The Finns made rifles out of parts. You may find any maker anything with an any maker anything else. Things like the Finn match barrel and bolt and certain Finnish depot marks change the story over Remington vs, Tula vs. Izhevsk, etc.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

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.

I think they said if it ain't broke, don't fix it. IDK.

Habe mich hier am 1.Mai angemeldet und bin komplett Neueinsteiger... Schießen tue ich erst seit ca. einem Jahr. Gekauft (aber noch nicht in meinem Besitzt) habe ich eine 91/30 Sniper und eine Makarov. Ich bin zufällig auf dieses Forum gestoßen und begeistert von der vielen Information, die ich hier bekommen kann. teilweise habe ich schon ein paar Bilder gepostet. Bessere kommen noch, sobald ich meine Erlaubnis der Behörde bekomme.

A friendly hello... I just noticed that I haven't really introduced myself yet. I signed up here on May 1st and am a complete newcomer... I've only been shooting for about a year. Bought (but not yet in my possession) I bought a 91/30 Sniper and a Makarov. I came across this forum by chance and was thrilled by all the information I can get here. I have already posted a few pictures. Better ones will come as soon as I get my permission from the authorities. Greetings Andreas (wickmac)
A big hello to the round. I write in english from now on. It was my mistake and I was pointed out to me that I write in German. :pointup:
Best regards wickmac

Hello All,

Joined after watching a bunch of RockIsland1913 videos on youtube and saw his RMNF hats in the background. I've been slowly acquiring mosin nagants for the past 12 years or so. Started with a $99 1942 izhevsk from Big Five and now I mainly acquire 19th century M91s and SCW specimens. I just love the history of them all, as I'm sure you can all relate.

Glad to be here.

Ben
