I picked up 3 more SVT40 Mags.

Last weekend I picked up three SVT-40 magazines at Kansas City show (10/23/2016) All rehabbed Russians, black painted, with numborus stamps, serial number lines outs, re-stamped serial numbers, and one that had a re-electro penciled serial number. All three were $50 each so I pounced them on the fas...

US made Mosins - Finnish Marked:

This past year I passed on about 25 or so Finn marked rifles that I saw, but for one reason or another, too high, too rough, already had a better example, etc. But I did pick up two USA made M91's - A Remington Armory, and a New England Firearms that are both SA marked. One is mostly original and th...

Re: An unknown mark on one of my Mosins.

I was told it could be a Summa Winter Cross stamp, but doubtful. Or more likely a mark for the Finnish Imperial Guard prior to 1911.

Re: VPT Head Stamp Ammo Photo

The rule is to keep idiots(the public) from chambering a round, and pulling the "bang button with their bugger hook".
If given the opportunity stupid people will do stupid things.

Re: VPT Head Stamp Ammo Photo

I wish there was some way of displaying Ammo when I am displaying rifles. The smart no loose ammo rule.
I have a 3D printer that I can use. So I think That I will play with designing some thing.

Re: IMA Sale on Helmets from the Finnish M40/55 Contract

I just bought 5 of them - free shipping. We will see what I get.
Seems like it will take up to three weeks to get it.

Re: M27 stock

I picked one up at the Tulsa show last year. Some where around $80 for it. I saw a few M28/30 stocks. This was the only M27 stock with notches for the Popsicle stick re-enforcements that I have seen by themselves (no metal parts on the stock). I did the same thing, I bought a finn M27 "Bubba sp...

An unknown mark on one of my Mosins.

What is the "X" or "+" mean? It is on a M91 made in 1911that is also Finn Marked, also with a circle "B".
I can not seem to find any reference for it.

Re: anyone own a Century Arms CEMTE?

No, but I have "fixed" 7 or 8 of them. Magwell issues, and roller lockup issues, and canted front sights, and parkerized over rust.
I don't really recommend the buying of them.

Re: New Members, Make your first post here!

Hello: I started collecting the Finn capture Mosins about three years when I picked up a 91/30 that was "KRU1 stocked marked" and it was also "SA marked" on the barrel. That was 15 "Finn Marked Mosins" and a Finn marked SVT40 (Podolsk) ago. This year I displayed the Fin...
