Finally got one of Lotta's rifles.

Post by Lee-online »

I have been looking for one for a few years but never found the right one. This one was on GB but didn't have to over pay for it. 8-)

It has gone through a Finn refurb and is still packed in grease below the woodline.

I'll let the pics speak for it.

Must have been transferred to a different district before transferring to the Army.

Grease, no mouse spring.

Look like I still need to find a SIG.

I wonder what these larger hash marks represent?

“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.

She is a nice one, sometime it pays to hold off for the right one.

My 1926 Tikka m91 showed up today but I can't get it from the post office until tomorrow. These will make a good pair.

That is real sharp looking. I could be super satisfied with such a find. Congrats Lee! A guy on Facebook tried to trade one of these in similar condition recently for my P word M39. I considered it.
