Items are subject to prior sale, butthis page is ALWAYS kept totally up to date in "real time"

Our OFFICE SCHEDULE including upcoming Gun-shows we will attend (for BUYING purposes only, we no longer take any inventory at all to sell at shows) or days we are otherwise closed and not in the office:

Hint: if we are away attending a show, other event, or on a buying-trip then we are not in our office taking calls or reading your emails or letters (or able to ship ANYTHING) until our return.

We have a private MAILING LIST which will get you all new items we acquire e-mailed to you 24 hours in ADVANCE (as well as much other useful information not available elsewhere).

We DO NOT accept PHONE ORDERS!
*ALL* orders must be either e-mailed, FAXed or snail-mailed to us

A FFL MUST BE on-file with us ALREADY before we will accept any order for a post-1898 firearm!

Federal Firearms Licenses cannotbe "sent to us later". It is a very good idea to send us a signed copy of your (or your local transfer dealer's) FFL in advance for our files to avoid missing out on the item you may want. This is SOP in the industry. We will accept a FAX of a FFL *ONLY* if you set the resolution on the outgoing FAX machine to FINE or SUPER-FINE (not PHOTO) as otherwise (if you FAX them using normal resolution) they will be illegible (and thus useless). We will also NOW accept scanned & emailed copies of your (or your dealers) FFL.

We will not "HOLD" any firearm without a FFL being on-file and payment MUST be made immediately via credit-card or overnighted Money Order.

These are Finn military Mosin Nagant match rifles as used until just recently by the Finnish Defense Forces. They were constructed from Finn Model 28/30 military 7.62x54R rifles by the Finnish military with hexagonal receivers, turned-down bolts, match triggers and Lyman-style aperture sights. The butt-stocks are made of Finnish birch with built-in cheek-rests and are specially bedded to each action. All we have are in NEAR EXCELLENT condition with matching-numbered bolts and at least 90% bluing on all metal. The wood shows dings, scratches and other signs of actual use and may have colored tape or stickers stuck to them (which qualified these rifles to compete in official military matches). There are aluminum rails on the left side and the bottom of forend for mounting of accessories such as palm-rests and slings. Bores are all excellent and mirror-bright.

Near Excellent condition with slight "honest wear" (as described and pictured above) . . . $975.
