In honor of it being the coldest month of the year, what better time than now to see everyone's Finn rifle pictures! Single rifles, Group photo's and so on. And maybe it will get some great "Winter" photos for our upcoming Photo Contest.

So let's see those Finns!!

I got to do that, a nice group photo, this sifting through 3000+ pics on photobucket to find the Finns is tedious, I should have put them all in a separate album instead of doing a mass upload from the old computer.

It would take you weeks to gather them all up for a group photo... And you would need a large field or airplane hanger to do it in.

You don't have to call me sir, I work for a livin

Ours might have been in the same regiment and got slaughtered by the Finns. I'd put a smiley but maybe that's not a good thought.

I see what you mean. I went back and looked at yours. Hey this is neat stuff. here is a better pic of the serial number. also notice that the bolt has been re-serialed twice, and the knob has the force matched number to match the barrel. I found this prize for a hundred bucks, and this is the one that comes to mind when I hear the word relic.
