Recently, I was able to acquire a very nice M91 Dragoon built at Tula in 1930.:dancingbanana:

This Mosin Nagant is still in her original Dragoon configuration due to being captured by Finland...

Ahh! An M91 with a Belgian barrel! Very nice!

Economics. Finland was cash strapped after gaining independence and was already using the Mosin Nagant when the country was part of the Russian Empire. Also Finnish leaders rightly guessed that any...

I had picked up this Finnish captured M91/30 Mosin Nagant earlier in the month. The one thing I noticed is that front sight was originally a Soviet hooded sight that was modified into a winged sight....

Earlier this month, I won an auction on Gunbroker for this Finnish captured M91/30. The barrel and receiver were originally from an 1936 Tula round receiver M91/30. The Finnish replaced the original...

Very nice Ex-Dragoon!

A wholeheartedly :clap::clap:.

You've done a wonderful job on your new Flintlock. I hope she shoots straight when you take her out!:cheers:

I had a chance to fire off some 1954 Bulgarian 182gr rounds yesterday with my M91/30. While all of the rounds fired normally, I did notice some leakage around the primers for most of the rounds.

Nice collection of M91's and M39's!

More details please!

That is a fine looking Tula made arm! I have two myself (1935 & 1939)




I know what you mean, I started with an M39, then a M91/30 and now I own two M39's, two M91/30's, an M91, and a...

From the top down, you have a captured M91/30, a Tikka made M91, and a Tikka made M27. Nice rifles!:thup:

Oh man, I'd snatch that up in a heart beat! The Finnish markings don't hurt one bit. I admit that I have a soft spot for the Finn M-N's. But this one if it sounds as good as you stated (I'd love to...

Earlier today, I had picked up a Finnish M27 Mosin Nagant built at Tikka in 1928. This one has the post 1935 nose cap modifications and a D chamber. This one does have the winged bolt. I was...

Mosinitis struck again! Earlier during the day, I had gotten a Finnish M91 Mosin Nagant built at Tikka in 1942.

Ahh if there is a cure, I don't want it! :rolleyes::lol:

I own two each of the Finnish M39's and Russian M91/30 Mosin Nagant's. My preference is with the M39. There is just something about those archaic looking bolt actions that I find so irresistible! :D

A week ago, I had decided to purchase a M91/30 Mosin-Nagant after recently having so much fun with my M39. She has a hex reciever and was built in 1935 at Tula.

In early August, I'd picked up a Finnish M39 Mosin-Nagant. Her receiver was built in 1896 at Tula with her upgrade to an M39 at VKT in 1944.

Great job on restoring that old soldier!:bow:

For WWII, I love my Finnish M39! I intend to get another Finnish M-N before the year is out. Other than that, I'm more into the black powder military arms (ala Trapdoors and muzzleloaders).:D

A. F Medic:

Very interesting! What is the caliber if it is ok to ask? The thickness of the barrel at the muzzle leads me to think that this was used for a target rifle.

Thanks for...

Dave:

What caliber is the rifle?

Generally a lot of people as a rule use 10% less 3Fg powder compared to 2Fg. That is because 3Fg being finer grained burns faster generating more...

Usmc69:

Neat looking pistol! It would be interesting to know the history behind it.

Thanks for sharing the photos.:beerchug:

No, I was referring to the phrase "You can't overload with BP".

Dogtag:



With a muzzleloader it is very easy to overload which could have painful or fatal consequences.

You are correct about 4Fg though.

Ellis:

The size you would need would be the Musket caps not the #11 caps. I agree with Matt about using the older style 4 wing Musket caps.

Good luck!
