I picked up a 43 Tikka, 91/30 light wood, mint condition recently. I have a fair size accumulation of Finns, but, only a hand full of 91/30s. This is my first Tikka built, are these considered hard to get. say in your general area(s)-SDH

There is every chance my 1944 Tikka M91/30 is the only one in New Zealand, and I had to import mine from a very accommodating gentleman in Virginia, USA.
Production numbers were quite low, but they do seem show up for sale regularly in the US. 5000 barrels were made in 1943, and about 9000 in 1944 - however, by the end of 1944 only about 5000 had been assembled into rifles. Most were assembled from parts in the 1950s, and put straight into war reserve (they were not used for post-war conscript training).
