Finn Capture M91/30 Question

Post by djbuck1 »

Does anyone own a Finn capture on which the Finn's did not replace the globe and post sight?

Thank you.

Yes, 1933 Tula 91/30, identified as an original transitional 91/30 by Karl-Heinz Wrobel when he was involved with the old board.

Yep, 41 Ishevisk, continuation war capture, nothing done but the two piece stock and SA stamp.

Yes, a '32 Izhevsk "41" marked and a '38 Izhevsk in what looks to be a Finn one piece stock - could have been the original though.

I have a '32 Izhevsk in front of me with the original sight, [SA] marked and a Finn stock. I may have another in the safe.

Yes, this one is a original matched 91/30 (except bolt which is Finn matched). I would not take 5 times what I gave for it. I love it.
