Todays Finds

Post by Jumperwire »

Went out today and found a couple of things that just had to come home with me. One is a 1899 M91 Finn Captured and the other is a No4 Mk1* Savage. Not to bad of a hunt today. :thumbsup:

I've only seen two Enfield s out here and they were both....you know...sported! Both for over 200.
The stock on that m91 is beautiful.

Jumper, I really like that "Finn", it's a bit like the one I picked up recently, it also has the Deutsches Reich stock cartouche.

But yours is older than mine by two years :)

Yours doesn't have unusual rear sight graduations does it?

Enfields nice too, but I like the "Finn's". :thumbsup:

Beautiful rifles. And I just said how it seems Finned M91's have been cropping up lately. My latest one is a tack driver. Sighted in perfectly (oddly) for 100 yds.
Great finds.

Thanks guys. bb91, not sure what you mean by weird. I'm guessing the crossed out Ashrin marks? I was looking over my other pictures of my Finns, but I noticed that I have failed to take pictures of the sights. :brolleyes: Anyhow, what I am referring to is the crossed out and renumbered sights. Is that what you mean? :?:

Here's the one I picked up recently, interesting rear sight marking and a few other things, this is my oldest rifle so you have me beat in that dept. :)

Great looking rifle, Congrats again! :Drool1:

That power of suggestion is a bear. Another member just mentioned one and out of the blue I find one at a good price. :o I must be pulling a "Millman" :lol: :lol: Mine was missing the Magazine, but I will find one. I was thinking they were around $25 but looks like I will be spending around $40. :brolleyes: That's 1/3 of a Finn in these parts. :lol: :lol: :lol:
