We have some of the best experts here looking forward to your questions. If you post a Mosin sniper rifle here, we may or may not move it to the sniper forum.

Actually it's my second thirteenth. I sold a Mosin Nagant to somebody desperately looking for one in Mobile, Al. and some extras, then flipped the money into this one. A Finn M28 Civil Guard.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

I was watching that one. I saw the Civil guard number was stamped on the receiver by the importer thinking it was the serial number. Post up more pictures when you get it.
I liked the early two piece nose cap and the SIG barrel. Nice rifle.

You gotta fight for the finns. I would have bid on it also.....if I had any money I cant remember my thirteenth...or fourteenth either I can remember the last one I got though...maybe It was an m28 or hun or m24 or something like that.

Yippee, this post of mine is WAY outdated. I now just bought Mosin Nagant #18, an Izhevsk 1943 91/59. I have owned 22 total of them so far, but I sell the more common ones to help raise money for a newer rarer model.
Plus I got another little goodie, a Winchester 95 factory chambered in 7.62X54R, so I have 19 guns that shoot the round.
