Nice one! I see you mentioned re-bored the barrel. What do you mean by that?

Very nice. I look for these kinds of rifles but only one out of 5 had a decent bore. I don't see anything in the pics that would indicate it came out of Finland. Metal with less than 50% bluing, no cleaning rod, non matching bolt, non refurbed and several interesting stock repairs tells me it came out of the Balkans and probably ended up being refurbed, i.e., put in working order, in Romania. :vcool: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
