I am looking for a replacement handguard for my 1944 Finnish M91. Original or reproduction is fine with me.
Thanks!

Re: WTB Finnish M91 Handguard
I have a Finnish M91 handguard for sale, although m91s weren't made in 1944. Are you sure you're not looking for a 91/30 style handguard?

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 misquoted my eyes...... It is actually a 1943. See image below.

It is still an M91, and will need that style handguard. I have had 3 1943 Tikkas. They are good rifles.

Please show me a picture of a 1944 dated M91 
Re: WTB Finnish M91 Handguard
I've had standard Russian M91, 91/30, and the pre war and wartime carbines. Of all of those, this is by far, the best shooter.

Re: WTB Finnish M91 Handguard
Sources, pics, etc? Just wondering, main reason I have a '43 Tikka m91 is due to it being last year of m91 production *(yes I know B barrel m91s were probably assembled post war along with some others)millman wrote: ↑Sun Sep 25, 2022 10:13 amThe Finns made them that late.MongooseLaw wrote: ↑Sun Sep 25, 2022 5:32 am I have a Finnish M91 handguard for sale, although m91s weren't made in 1944.

Re: WTB Finnish M91 Handguard
Got ya, those are the pages from 762x54r.net website aren't they?
That page certainly is a great source although some information is out dated of course
I've researched this particular subject before and never found any pictures or even discussion on a 1944 dated M91 3-line rifle.
Anyway, nothing is absolute with those sneaky Finn armorers! Maybe one will turn up someday
Thanks

It could be like the P series P-25s. They are said to be out there, but there is only one questionable pic that was on a Finnish gunsite that the Finnish guys were arguing about.

Tikka made M91's from 1940 to 1943.
Here is a shank from one. (not a B either)

Re: WTB Finnish M91 Handguard
Is there something wrong with that hand guard?
Why are you replacing it?
